Few wartime posters tie a newspaper so closely to a sensational headline as this one, which promotes *L'Araignée du Kaiser* ("The Kaiser's Spider") in the Paris daily *L'Œuvre* in 1916. The title points to the spy-thriller and anti-German tone that flourished in French print as the war settled into years of trench fighting, when readers wanted stories that cast the enemy as sinister. Newspapers of the period relied on eye-catching promotions to sell copies, so posters like this one show how the war was marketed to the public as well as reported.
