Buy Victory Bonds. Back Him Up!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Call to Action from the Home Front, 1917 This powerful poster, created in 1917, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the crucial role that civilians played in supporting the military effort. The image depicts a soldier in full military regalia, his back turned to the viewer, gazing intently at the battlefield behind him. The soldier's determined stance and the ominous clouds on the horizon create a sense of urgency and danger, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The text above the soldier reads, "Buy Victory Bonds. Back Him Up!" This call to action was a common theme in propaganda posters during World War I, as governments and war agencies sought to encourage citizens to purchase war bonds to help finance the war effort. The phrase "back him up" was a powerful metaphor, implying that the purchase of a war bond was a tangible way for civilians to support the soldiers on the front lines and contribute to the war effort. The use of imagery and language in this poster was designed to evoke a strong emotional response from the viewer. The soldier's resolute stance and the ominous battlefield scene served to remind citizens of the sacrifices being made by the military and the importance of doing their part to support the war effort. The call to action to "Buy Victory Bonds. Back Him Up!" was a powerful rallying cry that helped to galvanize public support for the war effort and raise much-needed funds for the military. This poster is a powerful reminder of the ways in which propaganda was used to mobilize public support for the war effort during World War I. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of visual imagery and language to inspire and motivate people to take action.
