Note to recorder:

not too fast please

A German gorilla, meant to be Kaiser Wilhem II, is carrying a woman who represents the Statue of Liberty. He is carrying a club which has the word "Kultur" written on it. The message is that the Germans are taking America's liberty and culture. They are evil and destructive. This poster also means humanity is lost during war.

This Italian / French propaganda poster shows a caricature of Kaiser Wilhem II. He is biting into the world. The message is that he wants to conquer the world and destroy it.

A man is wearing leather boots. His waistcoat is decorated with the British flag. He’s the fictional personification of Britain. The soldiers in the background are those who already enlisted in the British army. They stand ready to fight under the command of their country. This is a recruiting poster made by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee. This was necessary because at the beginning of the war, the British army was a volunteer army: no man could be forced to join. Soldiers had to enlist voluntarily. The poster functions on guilt: young men should feel guilty of not helping their country in times of need.
