EDITORS COMMENTS
What England Wants!, 1918" is a captivating and thought-provoking print by Egon Tschirch that showcases the power of propaganda during World War I. The colour lithograph depicts swarms of British planes bombing a factory, creating a dramatic scene filled with chaos and destruction. The poster's message is clear: it aims to convey what England desires - the complete obliteration of German industrial production. Accompanying the image is a quote from British Labour party leader Johnson-Hicks, published in the Daily Telegraph on January 3,1918. His words advocate for relentless bombing of the Rhine industrial area until Germany's economic backbone crumbles. This vintage poster serves as both an advertisement and a piece of graphic art, capturing the intensity and urgency of wartime Britain. It highlights how propaganda was used to manipulate public opinion and rally support for military actions. Through this powerful visual representation, "What England Wants!, 1918" transports viewers back to a time when nations were locked in brutal conflict. It reminds us of the devastating impact war has on societies and economies alike. As we examine this historical artifact today, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its significance as a reflection of human history. This print stands as evidence that even in times long past, governments employed various means to shape public sentiment towards their desired outcomes – often at great cost.
