Synopsis

La grosse Bertha souhaitant ses meilleurs vœux depuis Berlin, un travailleur socialiste agitant un drapeau rouge, Oncle Sam ordonnant aux Américains de s´enrôler... Dans la première partie du XXe siècle, ces images ont circulé sous forme de millions de cartes postales. Elles parvenaient à transmettre leur message grâce à leur graphisme étonnant et leur slogan percutant. Plus de 350 cartes postales sont reproduites dans cet ouvrage, défendant les causes politiques qui ont mené aux plus grands conflits de notre époque.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A Russian Socialist worker raises the red flag. Adoring crowds greet Hitler and Mussolini. Uncle Sam orders Americans to enlist. These images and many more circulated by the millions on postcards intended to change minds and inspire actions around the time of the two World Wars. Whether produced by government propaganda bureaus, opportunistic publishers, aid organizations, or resistance movements, postcards conveyed their messages with striking graphics, pithy slogans, and biting caricatures – and in a uniquely personal format. The more than 350 cards reproduced in full colour in this book advocate for political causes and celebrate war efforts on all sides of the major conflicts of the first half of the twentieth century. The accompanying text shows how a ubiquitous form of communication served increasingly sophisticated campaigns in an age of propaganda, and highlights the postcards collected here as both priceless historical documents and masterworks of graphic design.
