EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful question posed in this 1930s peace poster serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war and the need for continuous efforts towards peace. The poster, published by the Friends' Peace Literature Committee for Northern Friends' Peace Board and the Friends' Peace Committee, was created around the time when the world was on the brink of another major conflict. The image on the poster features a somber scene of a battlefield, with soldiers in uniforms and helmets, and the ruins of buildings in the background. The haunting question is written in bold, capitalized letters, with an exclamation mark adding a sense of urgency. The poster's tagline, "Don't be caught again!" further emphasizes the importance of learning from the past and taking action to prevent future wars. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with the use of strong colors and bold typography that grabs the viewer's attention. The string attached to the cardboard suggests that it was intended to be displayed outdoors, making it a visible reminder of the need for peace in public spaces. This poster is a poignant reminder of the past and a call to action for the present. It serves as a reminder that war is not an inevitable part of human nature, but rather a failure of diplomacy and a lack of effort towards peace. The question posed in the poster still resonates today, as the world continues to grapple with conflicts and the search for lasting peace.
