EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating back to the tumultuous year of 1918, is a powerful symbol of the Czechoslovak people's desire for independence and sovereignty. The image depicts a pair of doubled-headed imperial eagles, the historic emblem of the Habsburg Monarchy, nailed to crosses. The eagles, once a symbol of imperial power and authority, are now subdued and powerless, symbolizing the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the beginning of a new era for the Czech and Slovak peoples. The poster was produced by the Czech National Union (Ceske narodni sdruzeni), an organization that played a significant role in advocating for Czechoslovak independence during the First World War. The use of the imperial eagle as a symbol of the fallen empire, coupled with the crosses, underscores the religious and cultural significance of the Czech people's struggle for self-determination. The poster's bold design and striking imagery reflect the intense emotions and high stakes of the time. The use of black and white, with the eagles' golden heads and the red crosses standing out in stark contrast, adds to the poster's dramatic impact. The text at the bottom, in Czech, reads "Za ceskou samostatnost" or "For Czech Independence," further emphasizing the message of the poster. This historic poster is a poignant reminder of the Czechoslovak people's long-standing quest for self-determination and the ultimate triumph of their efforts to establish an independent nation-state. It is a testament to the power of symbolism and the enduring significance of the struggle for national identity.
