EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating back to 1917, captures the spirit of sacrifice and dedication to country and freedom that defined the Polish army during a pivotal moment in its history. The image of a winged knight on horseback, with the Polish flag unfurled behind him, symbolizes the courage and determination of the Polish soldiers as they followed in the footsteps of their fathers. The inscription at the bottom of the poster reads, "Following the paths of our fathers in the ranks of the Polis," emphasizing the importance of tradition and heritage in motivating the soldiers to fight for their motherland. The use of the word "Polis" refers to the ancient Greek term for a city-state, highlighting the idea of a unified and self-governing Polish nation. The poster was likely produced during a time when Poland was under foreign occupation, making the call to arms and the promise of freedom all the more powerful. The image of the winged knight, a common motif in Polish heraldry, adds an element of mythology and heroism to the message. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Polish army in the name of freedom and national pride. It also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Polish people, who have continued to fight for their independence and sovereignty throughout history.
