EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "Beat back the Hun with Liberty Bonds," was designed by the renowned German-American artist F. Strothmann in 1918. The poster, a powerful call to action during the final year of the war, depicts a menacing, yellow-skinned Hun (representing the German enemy) with long, red and blue fingers reaching out to strangle a helpless figure, symbolizing the American people. The Hun's monstrous helmet is adorned with the insignia of a German oak leaf, while a bayonet pierces the heart of a bleeding liberty cap at his feet. The poster's central message is clear: invest in Liberty Bonds to help finance the war effort and "beat back the Hun." The image of the Hun as an ogre or monster was a common motif in wartime propaganda, intended to instill fear and anger in the American public and galvanize support for the war. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the red, white, and blue of the liberty cap and the yellow skin of the Hun, further emphasizes the dichotomy between friend and foe. This vintage poster is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of financial investments during times of war. The Liberty Bond campaign was a crucial component of the American war effort, raising billions of dollars to fund military operations and support the troops. The poster's design, with its striking imagery and powerful message, remains a testament to the creative ways in which artists and designers contributed to the war effort during this pivotal period in American history.
