EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and patriotic World War I poster, created by Ernest Fuhr in 1919, serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining good health during times of conflict. The image features an American soldier, known as a doughboy, standing tall with an eagle perched on his shoulder. His determined expression reflects the spirit of resilience and strength that defined the soldiers who fought in this historic war. The poster's central message is clear: "You Kept Fit and Defeated the Hun". It highlights the crucial role played by soldiers in not only defeating their enemies but also combating venereal diseases that were prevalent during wartime. With its bold slogan and striking imagery, this propaganda piece aimed to educate soldiers about the risks associated with infections while promoting responsible behavior. Fuhr's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the soldier's iconic pickelhaube helmet to the text emphasizing venereal disease prevention, no element was overlooked. This visual masterpiece captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Today, this artwork continues to serve as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and dedication exhibited by those who served during World War I. It stands as a testament to our collective responsibility for safeguarding public health even amidst challenging circumstances like war.
