EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster, titled "Zeichnet die sechste Kriegsanleihe, 1914-1917" (Subscribe to the 6th War Loan, 1914-1917), was produced in 1917 during the height of World War I. The image depicts a brave knight on horseback, clad in armor and wielding a sword, charging towards a menacing dragon. The Austro-Hungarian banner flutters behind the knight, symbolizing the unity and strength of the empire. The use of a knight and a dragon is a common motif in propaganda posters of the time, representing the struggle between good and evil, and the call to action against the enemy. The text below the image urges viewers to "Subscribe to the 6th War Loan" and provides the date range of the campaign. The 6th War Loan was a war bond campaign initiated by the Austro-Hungarian government to raise funds for the war effort. The poster was designed to inspire patriotism and encourage citizens to contribute to the war effort by purchasing war bonds. The image of the knight slaying the dragon would have resonated with the audience, as it symbolized the triumph of good over evil and the importance of unity and sacrifice in times of war. The poster is a testament to the power of visual communication in mobilizing support for a cause. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the role that propaganda played in shaping public opinion and rallying support for the war effort.
