EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in American history during World War I. The poster, created by the American Defense Society in 1917, serves as a call to action for civilians to form local Vigilance Corps. With its bold text and patriotic imagery, the poster aims to encourage citizens to aid authorities in monitoring and suppressing disloyal activities within their communities. The composition of the print is striking, with the poster taking center stage against an early city backdrop. The horizon stretches out behind it, symbolizing the vastness of America's commitment to defending its values during this tumultuous time. The use of propaganda is evident through the inclusion of symbols such as secret agents and suspicion-inducing elements that aim to instill a sense of urgency among viewers. As we reflect on this historical artifact from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Americans on the home front during World War I. This print encapsulates not only the spirit of patriotism but also highlights how society mobilized itself towards safeguarding national security amidst global conflict.
