The title's phrase, "This Hun," draws on the slur that Allied propaganda applied to Germans from 1914 on, borrowing the name of Attila's invaders to portray the enemy as barbaric. Pairing it with a "commercial traveller," a traveling salesman, suggests the wartime anxiety that enemy agents or German commerce could reach into ordinary civilian life. Dated 1919, the poster was made after the fighting ended but while the peace terms were still being negotiated, so its warning looks back at the war rather than forward to combat. The record does not name its sponsor or intended audience, so those details are best read from the design itself.
