EDITORS COMMENTS
(What we will lose!) is a powerful and evocative poster from the tumultuous year of 1919, created to rally public opinion against the impending loss of Silesia to Poland. The image, now a historical artifact, serves as a poignant reminder of the geopolitical shifts and the human consequences of the post-World War I settlement. The poster features a stark, black and white graphical representation of the territories and resources that Germany would be forced to relinquish if Silesia were to be ceded to Poland. The image is dominated by a large, stylized map of Europe, with Germany and Poland outlined in bold, contrasting lines. Between these two countries lies the disputed region of Silesia, depicted as a sizeable chunk of land with a dense population density. The map is accompanied by a series of bar graphs, each representing a different aspect of the region's economic and demographic significance to Germany. The graphs illustrate the substantial losses in land mass, population, coal production, grain and potato production, steel production, colonies, and the merchant marine that Germany would incur as a result of the proposed border adjustments. The text "Was wir verlieren sollen" (What we will lose!) is emblazoned across the top of the poster in large, bold letters, serving to emphasize the gravity of the situation. The date "1919" is inscribed in the bottom left corner, providing context for the historical significance of the poster. This powerful and evocative poster serves as a poignant reminder of the human and economic costs of geopolitical change, and the emotional resonance of the territorial disputes that marked the aftermath of World War I. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of visual communication in shaping public opinion and influencing the course of history.
