520    Until the arrival of radio and television, and despite the
       influence of newspapers, posters were the major medium for
       mass communication. During the Great War all the 
       belligerent nations produced an extraordinary variety of 
       them - and they did so on a massive scale. As the 200 
       wartime and immediate post-war posters selected for this 
       book reveal, they were one of the most potent, and 
       memorable, ways of conveying news, information and 
       propaganda. In the most graphic and colourful fashion they
       promoted values such as patriotism and sacrifice. By using
       rallying symbols such as flags as well as historical and 
       mythical models, they sought to maintain morale and draw 
       people together by stirring up anger against the enemy. 
       Today their remarkable variety of styles give us an 
       instant insight into the themes and messages the military 
       and civilian authorities wished to publicize.The sheer 
       inventiveness of the poster artists is demonstrated as 
       they focused on key aspects of the propaganda campaign in 
       Britain, France, Germany, America and Russia. The 
       diversity of their work is displayed here in chapters that
       cover recruitment, money raising, the soldier, the enemy, 
       the family and the home front, films and the post-war 
       world. A century ago, when these images were first viewed,
       they must have been even more striking in contrast to the 
       poor-quality newspaper photographs and postcards that were
       available at the time. The Great War was to change that 
       forever. It introduced a means of propaganda that was 
       novel, persuasive and above all, powerful. It was the 
       first media war, and the poster played a key role in it.
