EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, issued by the Czechoslovak Recruiting Office during the First World War, depicts the spirit of national revival that swept through the Czech and Slovak regions during this tumultuous period. Dated between 1914 and 1918, the poster calls upon brave men to join the ranks of the Czechoslovak army and take up arms against the forces of the Central Powers. The graphic design features a determined soldier, his rifle at the ready and bayonet fixed, standing before an ethereal map of Czechoslovakia. The rising sun in the background symbolizes the hope for a new dawn and the promise of a free and independent Czechoslovakia. The poster's powerful imagery and compelling message resonated deeply with the people of the region, who saw the war as an opportunity to assert their national identity and secure their future. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Czech and Slovak people during the First World War and the enduring strength of their national spirit.
