EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster, created in 1917, is a poignant reminder of the fervor and passion that surrounded the sale of Liberty Bonds during World War I. The image depicts a handprint stained with blood, with the ominous caption "The Hun - His mark." The implication is clear: the blood on the hand represents the atrocities committed by the German soldiers, or "Huns," during the war. But the poster does not end on a note of despair. Instead, it offers a message of hope and defiance. The handprint is not left to linger in the viewer's mind; instead, it is blotted out by a cascade of Liberty Bond certificates. The message is clear: through the purchase of these bonds, the American people could help to "blot out" the horrors of war and contribute to the Allied cause. The poster is a testament to the power of visual propaganda and the role it played in mobilizing public support for the war effort. It was produced during a time when the sale of Liberty Bonds was a national priority, and posters like this one were used to encourage Americans to buy bonds and support the war effort. The image of the blotted-out handprint became an iconic symbol of the power of collective action and the belief that, together, the American people could make a difference in the outcome of the war. Today, this poster serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and determination of the American people during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. It is a powerful reminder of the role that visual imagery can play in shaping public opinion and inspiring action, and it remains a fascinating and important piece of American history.
