The enormous scope of WWI demanded a tremendous financial\ninvestment, which explains why the bulk of the posters in this collection\nsolicit donations from a wide range of audiences to a variety of organizations\nin support of the war effort. George Creel, director of the United States\nCommittee on Public Information, enlisted many of the nation\u2019s top artists to\nadvertise the sale of Liberty Bonds. Likewise, the American Red Cross and other\nhumanitarian organizations turned to the visual medium of posters to expand their\nmembership and national influence. Posters became a favored means of promoting\nthe war because of their ability to communicate quickly and emotionally. It is\nclear from the examples below that propagandists, with varying degrees of\nsuccess, experimented with the visual medium, refining techniques that would be\nused to sell war to the public for decades to come.<\/p>\n
