Was wir verlieren sollen!" translates to "What we are to lose!" The title sets the tone of this 1919 German poster by Louis Oppenheim, a Berlin illustrator known for graphic work. Its subject is the aftermath of World War I, specifically the economic and industrial costs Germany faced as the peace terms were debated. Posters like this one circulated in a country that had just lost the war and was struggling over what the settlement would take from it.
