EDITORS COMMENTS
Hands Off: WW1 - The English Have Landed: A Warning from Marianne to Kaiser Wilhelm II This evocative image, titled "Hands Off: The English Have Landed," dates back to the early days of World War I in 1914. The photograph captures the tension and anxiety that gripped Europe as the conflict between the major powers began to escalate. At the center of the image, a stern-faced Marianne, the personification of France, holds out her hand in a warning gesture towards Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. The caption below reads, "Marianne to Kaiser Wilhelm II - Hands Off! The English have landed." This powerful message conveyed a clear warning to Germany not to set its sights on France, as the English would be on hand to defend her borders. The English Expeditionary Force had recently arrived in France, bolstering the French military and increasing their confidence and sense of security. The image was undoubtedly meant to instill a sense of patriotism and strength in the French people, as well as to deter any potential aggression from Germany. The use of Marianne, a symbol of France and its people, was an effective propaganda tool during this time. Her strong, determined stance and the ominous clouds in the background add to the sense of urgency and importance of the message being conveyed. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the early days of World War I and the complex web of alliances and tensions that led to the conflict. It also serves as a testament to the power of propaganda and its ability to galvanize public opinion and support during times of crisis.
