Its German title, roughly "Work Is Protection Against Anarchy," states the message outright, and the subject headings place a blacksmith at its center. The poster dates from 1919, the turbulent months after Germany's defeat in World War I, when strikes, street fighting, and radical attempts to seize power unsettled cities across the country. Posters like this one addressed workers directly and presented steady labor as a defense against disorder. Its framing of work as stability rather than as a grievance shows how many people in the political center hoped the new republic would be understood.
