Original design for the "Be Patriotic" poster
By Paul Stahr, ca. 1917-18
Gouache on paper
27 7/8 " x 20"

World War I Posters: Be Patriotic
When the United States entered World War I in April 1917,
the Federal Government was faced with the monumental
task of mobilizing American society. Early in the war,
President Woodrow Wilson appointed a Committee on
Public Information headed by journalist George Creel to
lead the propaganda effort. One way for the Government to
get out its message was the poster. Noted artists
volunteered their time and talents to the committee and
designed posters urging enlistment in the armed forces,
conservation, industrial mobilization, subscriptions to
Liberty Loans, and other patriotic duties. Paul Stahr's
design for "Be Patriotic" is typical of many World War I
posters. It aimed to be spiritually uplifting and depicted the
ideals for which Americans were fighting.
