This 1916 poster announces the Deutsche Kriegsausstellung, or German War Exhibition, held in Hamburg at the Ernst Merck hall. Wartime exhibitions of this kind were staged in German cities to show the public military equipment, captured weapons, and the progress of the fighting, and to sustain support for a conflict that by 1916 had become costly and long. The poster's bold lettering and dramatic call to visit reflect the propaganda role such events played on the home front during the First World War.
