Posters of the Great War

Posters of the Great War refer to the graphic advertisements created during World War I to promote enlistment, encourage wartime production, and bolster public support for the war effort. These visually striking posters used bold imagery and persuasive slogans to convey messages of patriotism, duty, and sacrifice. They targeted various audiences, including young men, women, and families, to inspire action and convey the urgency of supporting the troops. The posters are now recognized as important historical documents, reflecting the cultural and emotional climate of the time, as well as the techniques of mass communication used during the early 20th century.
