Register of the Louis Raemaekers 44001 2 papers and artwork Raemaekers joined the Amsterdam Telegraaf as a political cartoonist and caricaturist in 1907, but with the outbreak of World War I ceased all other professional activity to dedicate himself to an anti-German campaign through his cartoons. He was charged in the Dutch courts for violating the neutrality of Holland, but his work found an appreciative audience in London where it was exhibited in 1915. During the war he made frequent visits to the French front, charcoal in hand. In 1917, he toured the United States and drew cartoons for various newspapers. The inter-war period found him living in Belgium and campaigning in favor of the League of Nations and against the rising tide of Nazism. He eventually emigrated to the United States and continued his artistic career by drawing cartoons for the New York Herald Tribune and the afternoon tabloid PM Among the papers is an extensive correspondence series, which reflects Raemaekers' activism and contacts with many heads of state, ministers, government agencies, relief organizations, and veterans' associations. Also noteworthy are scrapbooks of clippings relating to Raemaekers' life and work. The speeches and writings series is very small, but does contain some interesting letters to the editor and the speech he delivered before the Lord Mayor of London in 1919. In 2001, thanks to the generous support of the Mericos Foundation, Raemaekers' artwork was re-housed and preservation treatment provided with the assistance of the staff of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The drawings can now be safely used for research. The re-housing effort uncovered many titles previously hidden by matting, and those were incorporated into a revised and expanded register. Raemaekers' handwriting is often difficult to decipher, so the titles given in the finding aid may not always exactly correspond to those on his artwork. In addition, minor grammar and spelling mistakes were corrected. Ariane de Ranitz, who had researched the Raemaekers collection at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives to write her book, Met een pen en een potlood als wapen (with a pen and a pencil as weapons), assisted the Archives staff with Dutch language titles.

Belgium’s Asmall military was overmatched and reduced to fighting skirmishes as the Kaiser’s war machine headed toward France. Belgian civilians, as they had during the Franco- Prussian War, resisted by taking up arms. Snipers and ambushes slowed the Germans’ advance. In retaliation, German troops massacred Belgian men, women, and children. Cities, villages, and farms were burned and plundered.1 Belgian neutrality meant nothing to the German master plan to invade and defeat France before the Russian army could effectively mobilize in the east.

ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

  • WW1 Propaganda 2018
    WW1 Propaganda 2018 Slide 1 Title Slide Today we’ll examine the ways that half-truths and outright porkies were used by all sides in WW1 for a variety of purposes: to keep up morale, to help enlistment, to raise money, to urge sacrifices. But most of what I’ll say will relate to the Allied side because the winners always get to write the history.
