EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Opfertag, 1918" captures the essence of German propaganda during World War I. Published in Munich in 1918, this color lithograph by Walter Ditz (1888-1925) depicts a powerful scene that symbolizes sacrifice and devotion to the Fatherland. In the foreground stands a monumental cross adorned with a dagger, representing both faith and military might. The altar beneath it is engulfed in eternal flames, signifying the everlasting spirit of Germany's commitment to victory. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during the Great War. Ditz's artwork was undoubtedly intended to inspire patriotism and rally support for Germany's war effort. By portraying these holy flames burning forever over the Fatherland, he aimed to evoke feelings of national pride and unity among his fellow countrymen. The Stapleton Collection has preserved this remarkable piece from history, allowing us to reflect on an era defined by conflict and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the immense impact that World War I had on nations around the world. This photograph print serves as a testament to both Ditz's artistic talent and his contribution to wartime propaganda. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in human history – one marked by devastation but also resilience and unwavering dedication towards a cause greater than oneself.
