1917 WW I Germany Poster Stamp (4" X 5.75") Subscribe to the 5.5% Third War Bond MNH Full Gum Some Ink Offset. "Zeichnet" : poster by Erwin Puchinger : in Das Plakat : January 1917 : Verlag Arthur Collignon - Zeitschrift Des Vereins Der Plakatfreunde EV : Berlin, Deutschland. By January 1917 the European continent was still locked in the desperate struggles of the First World War and this issue of the German poster magazine "Das Plakat" looked at war propaganda posters of the Germans allies in the Central Powers. Other wartime issues look at German and indeed Allied propaganda posters; the war effort relied massively on civilian effort, morale and indeed support for funding as participant countries spend massive sums of money on armed forces and armaments.
This poster "Zeichnet 5.5% dritte Kriegsanleihe" or "Subscribe to the 5.5% third war bond" was issued by the Austo-Hungarian Empire, in Wien/Vienna, and is by noted artist Erwin Puchinger. Puchinger (1875 - 1944) was an artist and teacher and associated with figures in the Vienna Secession (das Wien Sezission) and the new wave of Gesamtkunstwerk. The image is one based on the ideal of the chivalrous knight whose sield is protecting women and children at home.
