Excellent, I was surprised that all of the posters didn't use the Fachtung(sp?) script - or was that largely a German practice?
I think you mean Fraktur script.
The poster with the pilot is actually German, according to the Library of Congress and Imperial War Museum. The artist is Fritz Erler, who created at least two other well-known German WWI posters.
Very interesting. They make me wish I knew German.
the most striking to me is the 3rd one with the soldier, now an amputee working as a farmer.
