EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print from Holt's Battlefields Collection captures a unique piece of German propaganda from the Home Front during World War I. The image features a smiling German girl wearing a soldier's cap, peering through a paper screen with an air of innocence and patriotism.
The unusual card is dated circa 1914, at the onset of the Great War, when propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and boosting morale on the home front. The unknown artist behind this piece skillfully conveys the message of unity and support for the troops through the imagery of a young girl embodying strength and determination.
In times of war, such propaganda was used to rally citizens behind their country's cause and instill a sense of national pride. This particular print serves as a reminder of the power that visual media held in influencing public perception during wartime.
As we reflect on this historical artifact, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during WWI and how propaganda served as both a tool for manipulation and motivation. The legacy of these wartime images continues to resonate today, serving as important reminders of our shared history.
