Its German caption, "Bolschewismus heißt die Welt im Blut ersäufen," which translates roughly as "Bolshevism means drowning the world in blood," sets the message before the image does. The 1919 lithograph, signed "Safis" and published in Berlin by Heymann u. Schmidt, shows wolves and a drowning figure, with wolves standing in for the revolutionary left. It appeared in the months after the Spartacist uprising in January 1919, when fighting in Berlin and fears of a Bolshevik-style takeover shaped German politics. Posters like this one reflect how sharply the war's end had polarized the country.
