The Freedom of the Sea Our Flag Has Guarded It. What Would These Pirates and Pledge-Breakers Do?
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful WWI poster, created by Wilmot Lunt in 1915, captures the essence of a nation's determination to protect its freedom against the threat of German aggression. The image depicts four prominent figures from Germany: Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, and Crown Prince William. They are shown wearing Prussian military uniforms adorned with Iron Crosses. The central focus is on the Union Jack flag held firmly by a British sailor's hand. This symbolizes the unwavering commitment of Britain to safeguarding its maritime sovereignty against these perceived pirates and pledge-breakers. The sinking of the RMS Lusitania earlier that year had shocked the world and intensified anti-German sentiment across Britain. This poster likely served as a response to that tragic event, reminding viewers of the need to defend their country against such acts. Through vivid colors and bold imagery, this propaganda piece aimed to rally public support for Britain's war efforts during World War I. It evokes feelings of patriotism and unity while highlighting Germany as an enemy threatening not only British interests but also European peace. Today, this historic print remains preserved at the National Museum of Royal Navy in Portsmouth, Hampshire—serving as a poignant reminder of past conflicts fought for freedom on land and sea.
