Propagandaposter fra 1. verdenskrig

This is a propaganda poster from World War 1. In the poster there is a lot of soldiers standing next to each other, and between to of the men there is a free space with a sign saying, “This space is reserved for a fit man”. The poster is very eye-catching, because of the big contrast between the dark background and the light coloured text, and “ you “ kind of pops out.

The purpose of the poster is to encourage men to stand up and join the army. The most common and important message was to tell you “the country needs you”. The poster shows you how many men that had already joined the army, and that there’s still a place reserved a place for you
