1920 Behind Brothers Defence Field Flowers German Helmet Lithograph National Plough Poster Soldier Wheat Enlist Existed Wehrmacht
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1920 showcases a powerful German poster urging brothers to enlist in the Reichswehr, the National Defence force that existed between 1919 and 1935. The central figure is a strong man wearing a soldier's helmet, holding a plough with determination. Behind him stretches an idyllic field of wheat and vibrant flowers, symbolizing hope and prosperity. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of patriotism and duty during this turbulent period in Germany's history. It serves as both a call to arms for young men to join their country's defense forces and an ode to the agricultural roots that sustained them. The composition exudes strength, with every element carefully chosen to evoke emotions of loyalty, sacrifice, and unity. The soldier's resolute gaze reflects his commitment to protect his homeland while simultaneously tending to its fertile soil. As we admire this historic print from Universal Images Group (UIG), it reminds us of the profound impact art can have on society. This poster not only sought recruits for the Reichswehr but also aimed to instill pride in one's nation through its striking imagery. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece as a testament to an era marked by change, resilience, and unwavering dedication towards building a stronger Germany.
