EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful poster, dated 1918, depicts a poignant scene of a woman protectively clutching her infant as a German soldier with bloodied hands approaches. The caption above the image reads, "Hun or Home? Buy More Liberty Bonds." The use of the derogatory term "Hun" was a common anti-German slur during World War I, and this poster was designed to evoke fear and anxiety in Americans about the potential threat of the German enemy. The poster is a reminder of the intense emotions and fears that gripped the United States during the war, as well as the government's efforts to mobilize the population to support the war effort through the purchase of Liberty Bonds. These bonds were sold to citizens to help finance the war effort, and the slogan "Buy More Liberty Bonds" was a rallying cry to encourage Americans to invest in the war effort and do their part. The image of the woman and her child is a stark contrast to the menace of the approaching soldier, highlighting the importance of protecting home and family from the horrors of war. The poster is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and fears that came with the Great War, and serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict.
