It’s recommended that everyone wear a Covid-19 mask. We will observe whatever rules are in place at the time. Stay safe. Lauren Thor will speak on World War I Postcards and "A Little Scrap of Paper." The popularity of the postcard was waning by 1913, but WWI gave it a new life. From 1914-1918, soldiers stationed in Europe sent and received thousands of postcards. In addition to keeping the soldiers connected to loved ones at home, many propaganda postcards produced were designed to appeal to patriotism, boost morale and aid in recruitment. When the Germans invaded neutral Belgium, they were in violation of a treaty that both Germany and Great Britain had signed in 1839. When challenged about the violation, the German Chancellor dismissively called the treaty just "a scrap of paper." Many "Scrap of Paper" themed postcards were printed, with the intent to deride Germany for ignoring the international agreement. The program will include representational postcards from WWI and feature the "scrap of paper" postcards. There is an hourly fee for parking within the gates of Fort Mason Center, but upper Fort Mason (enter at Franklin and Bay Streets) and parking spaces along the Marina Green are free.
