EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful Italian military poster from World War I, published by the British Library in 1981, is a vivid reminder of the call to action that resonated across Europe during the conflict. The colorful photolithograph, designed by Mauzan, features a uniformed soldier standing firmly and directly addressing the viewer. With a determined gaze and an outstretched hand, he points at us, urging us to take action and "do our duty" by subscribing to Italian war bonds. The soldier's rifle leans against a boulder, symbolizing the military might behind this appeal. The background is adorned with images of Italian flags, factories, and fields, emphasizing the connection between the home front and the battlefield. This poignant image underscores the collective responsibility of the Italian people to support their military efforts during the war. The poster's title, "Fate tutti il vostro dovere!" (Everyone do your duty), is inscribed at the bottom, further emphasizing the call to action. This powerful message, combined with the image of the soldier, served as a rallying cry to inspire Italians to contribute financially to the war effort through the purchase of war bonds. This historical artifact is a testament to the emotional and patriotic appeal that posters held during times of war. The image of the soldier, with his unwavering gaze and outstretched hand, continues to resonate with us today, reminding us of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the collective responsibility we all share in times of crisis.
