EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating German patriotic poster, titled "Seid Einig!", transports us back to the fervent atmosphere of 1870. This vibrant colour lithograph, created by the German School in the 19th century, now resides in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. At first glance, we are struck by a powerful image that embodies national unity and pride. A valiant warrior brandishing a sword stands tall at the center of the composition. Clad in armor adorned with Germany's coat of arms, this figure personifies strength and courage. Beside her soars an eagle, symbolizing freedom and victory. The presence of this majestic bird further emphasizes Germany's determination during a tumultuous period marked by war – specifically referencing the Franco-Prussian War. Adding an intriguing touch to this artwork is a Valkyrie-like female figure hovering above our warrior. Her ethereal beauty suggests divine protection over Germany as it strives for national unity amidst conflict. This propaganda piece serves as both inspiration and rallying cry for its viewers. It calls upon all Germans to be united in their pursuit of a common goal: defending their homeland against external threats while fostering patriotism within their own hearts. As we gaze upon this historical gem from eArchives Charmet via Bridgeman Images' collection, let us remember that art has always played an integral role in shaping societies and fueling nationalist sentiments throughout history.
