Allies Day, May 1917
A patriotic whirlwind overtook mid-town Manhattan as America entered the First World War in the spring of 1917. On Fifth Avenue, the British Union Jack, the French Tricolor, and Stars and Stripes were displayed prominently during parades honoring Americas allies. The colorful pageantry inspired Childe Hassam, who dedicated this picture " to the coming together of [our] three peoples in the fight for democracy." Hassams flag paintings were first shown as a group in New Yorks Durand-Ruel Gallery in November 1918, just four days after the armistice was declared. Thus, the works, originally created to herald Americas entry into the war, also served to commemorate its victorious resolution
