Assessing Posters

Contemplate
When looking at a WWI propaganda poster, remember that posters
    • convince people to do an action to benefit their country.
    • need to spur people to contribute to the war effort despite economic hardship.
Speculate
Why did the tone of posters change from upbeat to gloomy?
