EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an advertisement for the film "Des Kaisers Weihnachtsreise" (The Emperor's Christmas Journey), dating back to around 1917. Created by Hans Rudi Erdt, a renowned German artist, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the film and its propaganda message during World War I. Set against a backdrop of snow-covered fir trees and a quaint fence, the scene depicts a charming winter landscape with a church in the distance. The poster itself is prominently displayed on what appears to be a cinema wall, illuminated by the night sky. Its bold design features barbed wire intertwined with images of stars, symbolizing both hope and conflict. As one gazes at this historical artifact, it becomes evident that films played an influential role in shaping public opinion during times of war. This particular advertisement sought to promote patriotism and support for Germany amidst the chaos of World War I. The title "Des Kaisers Weihnachtsreise" hints at an intriguing narrative centered around Emperor Wilhelm II's journey during Christmas time. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, moments of joy can still be found. Overall, this print provides us with insight into not only early 20th-century German cinema but also how art was used as propaganda during times of global conflict. It stands as a testament to both artistic creativity and historical significance within our collective memory.
