Its German title, *Wir dulden keine Anarchie!*, translates as "We Tolerate No Anarchy!", and the artist is credited as Siegm. v. Suchodolski. Printed in 1919, it dates from a period when Germany was reeling from defeat in World War I, the revolution of 1918, and the political violence that followed, including the Spartacist uprising in Berlin in January 1919. The catalog subjects tie it to mothers and children and to bombs, suggesting the poster drew on fear for family safety amid postwar disorder. As a color lithograph, it is a useful example of how political posters of the period used emotion to argue for order.
