EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI poster, titled "Hun or Home? Buy more Liberty Bonds," was created circa 1918, during the height of the First World War. The image depicts a fearsome, demonic figure with a pointed helmet and a menacing expression, labeled as a "Hun," representing the enemy from Germany. In stark contrast, a nurturing woman, cradling a baby, is labeled "Home." The use of propaganda through this poster was a common tactic during wartime, with the intention of demonizing the enemy and persuading citizens to support the war effort through financial contributions. The red background and the dripping blood-like lines add to the ominous and fear-inducing atmosphere. The text above the image reads, "Buy more Liberty Bonds," emphasizing the call to action for Americans to invest in the war effort and help secure a victory against the Huns. This poster is a poignant reminder of the intense emotions and fears that were prevalent during wartime, and the persuasive tactics used to rally support and fundraising efforts.
