Assembly Citizens Constitution Election Elections Electoral Farmers Motto Origin Phrase Propaganda Unite Weimar 1919 January
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster calls for the unity of all Germans – workers, citizens, farmers, and soldiers – to participate in the National Assembly elections of January 19, 1919. The historic event marked the beginning of the Weimar Republic's constitution and the post-World War I era in Germany. The vibrant, contemporary design features a dynamic motto, "National Assembly elections. January 19, 1919. Workers, citizens, farmers, soldiers of German origin, unite!" The image of a determined man, with a serious expression and outstretched hand, symbolizes the call to action. The diverse crowd in the background, consisting of men of various ages and backgrounds, underscores the inclusive nature of the appeal. The poster's intricate details, such as the intertwined flags and the electoral symbol of a raised fist, add to its visual impact. The use of bold text and contrasting colors effectively conveys the urgency and importance of the elections. This powerful propaganda piece reflects the political climate of the interwar period, as Germany sought to rebuild and establish a democratic government after the devastating effects of World War I. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the collective efforts and determination required to shape the future of a nation.
