World War I Propaganda


World War I photographs are an important important aspect of the history of American photography. Many photos depicted the horrors of the war and often aroused pity from the viewer. This photo represents a paradigm of the utilization of World War I photos. Here, the viewer witnesses the depression and decrepitude of a solider in war. This photo, as well as many similar others, is used to convince American citizens to end warfare because , in the end, all war ends in depression and destruction.
