EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful quote, spoken by General Petain in June 1917, is depicted in this haunting poster from 1917. The image presents Prussia as an octopus, its tentacles reaching out and ensnaring Europe. The title, "La guerre est l'industrie nationale de la Prusse... Attaques," translates to "The war is the national industry of Prussia... Attacks." At the time, Prussia was a major power in Europe, and its involvement in the ongoing war was a source of great concern for many. The poster serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war on individuals and nations. The use of the octopus as a symbol for Prussia emphasizes the idea that war is an all-consuming force, with far-reaching tentacles that touch every aspect of life. General Petain, a French military leader, is shown standing defiantly at the center of the image. His determination and unwavering commitment to defending his country and preserving freedom are evident in his expression. The poster serves as a call to action, reminding viewers that in times of war, it is essential to fight for what is right and to protect the values that are worth defending. The poster's creation in 1917, during the height of World War I, underscores the urgency of the message it conveys. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. The image of the octopus reaching out to ensnare Europe remains a powerful and enduring symbol of the destructive nature of war.
