EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful propaganda poster from the First World War era. Created by Norman Tonson in 1917, this United States Coast Artillery Corps recruitment poster carries a clear message: "We need you!". The image features a striking silhouette of two soldiers against the backdrop of a setting sun, symbolizing the urgency and sacrifice required to defend their country. The poster's composition is dominated by an imposing cannon, emphasizing the military might necessary for victory. Its presence serves as a reminder that artillery plays a crucial role in warfare. The use of bold colors and Western script further enhances its visual impact, capturing viewers' attention with patriotic fervor. Tonson's artwork reflects American culture during this tumultuous period in history when men were called upon to serve their nation on the battlefield. It evokes feelings of duty, honor, and unity among citizens as they rallied together to protect their homeland. As we examine this historical artifact today, it reminds us not only of the bravery displayed by those who fought but also highlights how art was employed as an effective tool for propaganda during times of war. This photograph preserves an important piece of our collective memory and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by previous generations to secure our freedom.
