EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating poster from 1916 showcases a powerful advertisement for a War Exhibition sponsored by the Red Cross in Stuttgart. Created by Johann Vincenz Cissarz, this colour lithograph is an exquisite piece of art that captures the essence of the Great War. The focal point of the poster is a striking sword engulfed in flames, symbolizing the intensity and destruction of war. Above it, proudly displayed, is the iconic red cross emblem representing humanitarian aid provided by the Red Cross during times of conflict. An eagle soars majestically across the top, embodying strength and patriotism. Its presence evokes a sense of national pride as Germany faced its challenges during World War I. The composition exudes energy and urgency with bold typography announcing "Wurtt. Kriegsausstellung" (War Exhibition) alongside dates "Mai-September" inviting viewers to attend this significant event showcasing wartime artifacts and experiences. This historical artifact not only serves as an advertisement but also reflects German society's response to war at that time. It encapsulates both hope for victory and recognition for those affected by conflict. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable print provides us with a glimpse into history—a reminder of how art can convey messages beyond words—invoking emotions tied to one of humanity's most tumultuous periods: World War I.
