EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI-era German poster, circa 1918, from Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, showcases a determined soldier in khaki uniform, holding a hand grenade with both hands, poised for action. The soldier's intense gaze and the ominous plume of smoke rising from the background suggest the chaos and intensity of the battlefield. The caption above the image reads "Art Exhibition," indicating a connection between the military and the arts during wartime. The First World War, also known as WWI or the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved numerous countries in Europe and beyond. The use of hand grenades was a common tactic during trench warfare, making this image a poignant representation of the soldier's experience on the front lines. The soldier's khaki uniform, a standard issue for the German army during this period, further underscores the authenticity of the scene. This powerful poster serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the war and the role that art played in capturing and conveying the emotions and realities of the time. The image also highlights the intersection of military and artistic expression, as well as the enduring impact of the war on the cultural landscape of the early 20th century.
