EDITORS COMMENTS
- This powerful poster from 1917, depicts a haunting image of a sailor's ghost reaching out to a soldier, with a sinking submarine in the background. The ghostly sailor's intent gaze and outstretched arm are meant to convey a sense of urgency and appeal to the viewer's emotions. The text accompanying the image reads, "So your money helps you fight! In submarines it is transformed... subscribe to the war loan!" During World War I, Germany's U-boats posed a significant threat to Allied shipping, leading to a critical need for resources to build more submarines and protect the sea lanes. The German government responded with the issuance of war bonds, or Kriegsanleihe, to raise funds for the war effort. This poster was one of many propaganda pieces produced during this time, designed to encourage citizens to subscribe to the war loan and contribute to the war effort. The image of the ghostly sailor and the sinking submarine was an effective way to convey the idea that one's financial contribution could make a difference in the outcome of the war. The use of the supernatural element added an element of drama and urgency, making the call to action all the more compelling. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the power of propaganda in mobilizing public support for a cause. It is a significant historical artifact that offers insights into the emotional and psychological tactics used to rally people to support the war effort during a time of crisis.
