The slogan "Freiheit, Frieden, Arbeit" (freedom, peace, work) sets this election poster apart from the military imagery common in wartime propaganda. It was issued for the German People's Party, a liberal nationalist party founded in 1918, as Bavarian voters prepared to elect a new state assembly in early 1919. The moment was turbulent: the war had ended in defeat, the monarchy had collapsed, and Munich was in the midst of revolutionary upheaval. Posters like this one, with promises of stability and recovery, show how parties courted voters worn down by four years of conflict.
