EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative and intriguing black and red WWI poster, titled "Public Warning - Identifying German and British Aircraft," is a powerful reminder of the aerial battles that took place during the First World War. Produced between 1914 and 1918, this poster was a crucial tool for the British public, as it aimed to help identify enemy and friendly aircraft in the skies above. The poster features a series of silhouettes, with the German aircraft depicted in menacing black and the British planes in bold red. The German aircraft, including the Fokker Eindecker and the Albatros D.III, are easily recognizable by their distinctive shapes and features, such as the large, unprotected engine and the narrow wings. The British planes, such as the Sopwith Camel and the Royal Flying Corps RE8, are also clearly depicted, with their distinctive wings and engine configurations. The poster's stark contrast of colors and bold, graphic design makes it a powerful visual tool for conveying important information in a clear and concise manner. The poster's text, which reads "Know Your Enemy," emphasizes the importance of being able to distinguish friend from foe in the heat of battle. This poster is a testament to the innovative ways in which information was disseminated during wartime, and serves as a reminder of the crucial role that visual communication played in the outcome of the First World War. The poster is part of the extensive collection of historical images held by Liss Fine Art / Mary Evans Picture Library and is available for research and educational purposes.
