Addressed directly to "the German people," this 1914 poster speaks to the home front as much as to soldiers. Its allegorical woman and eagle draw on a long visual tradition in which figures like Germania and the imperial eagle stood for the nation and its strength. Posters of this kind circulated after Germany entered the war in August 1914, when the government needed to recruit soldiers, sustain morale and encourage support for war loans. Worth noticing is that the poster makes no battlefield appeal at all. It asks ordinary viewers to see themselves as part of a shared national cause.
