EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful poster, dated 1917, calls on Poles to join the fight for liberty, both for their own country and for the allies of World War I: the United States, France, and Britain. The image features a determined soldier, armed with a rifle, raising the Polish flag high while waving the flags of the allied nations. The caption urges Poles to enlist "to-day," emphasizing the urgency of the moment. The poster reflects the complex political landscape of the time. Poland had been partitioned among various European powers since the late 18th century, and many Poles longed for independence. During World War I, the Central Powers, including Germany and Austria-Hungary, occupied much of Polish territory. The Polish Legions, formed in 1914, fought alongside the Allies, offering Polish soldiers a chance to serve their country while contributing to the Allied war effort. The poster's multinational appeal is also noteworthy. By displaying the flags of the United States, Poland, France, and Britain, it underscores the shared goals and values of the Allies. It also highlights the international dimension of the Polish struggle for independence, as Poles fought alongside their allies to secure a free and sovereign Poland. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Poles and their allies during World War I, as they fought for liberty and self-determination. It is a testament to the enduring power of visual propaganda in mobilizing public support for a cause.
