EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German World War 1 poster designed to encourage the purchase of war bonds. Created by Otto Lehmann, a talented artist active during the war years, this propaganda piece aimed to rally support for the German cause. The caption on the poster reads: "Stutzt unsere Feldgrauen. Zereisst Englands Macht. Zeichnet Kriegsanleihe" which translates to "Support our greys in the field. Rend England's might. Subscribe to a war bond". The image itself is striking and symbolic, featuring a stylized representation of a soldier holding a balloon with the words "Kriegsanleihe" written on it – emphasizing its importance as an economic tool for financing the war effort. This patriotic artwork not only appeals to national pride but also highlights Germany's determination and unity in facing their enemies. Dating back to approximately 1914-18, this historical artifact provides valuable insight into the mindset and strategies employed during World War 1. It serves as a reminder of how nations utilized various forms of advertising and propaganda to mobilize their populations towards supporting military campaigns financially. Thanks to Derek Bayes' skillful photography, we can now appreciate this significant piece from early twentieth-century Europe that represents both artistic expression and wartime messaging at its finest.
