Online exhibit features history and use of World War I propaganda posters World War I Propaganda Posters: Art That Shaped History In an age before commercial radio and television, posters served as an important method of communicating with and influencing a mass audience. Entering World War I in 1917 after nations in Europe had already been fighting for three years, the United States needed to mobilize men and resources in a short period of time. Just as countries in Europe on both sides of the conflict utilized posters to manipulate public opinion, the United States took similar steps. World War I Propaganda Posters: Art That Shaped History is an online exhibition featuring fifteen posters pulled from Cincinnati Museum Center collections that demonstrate the variety of posters used during World War I. Some were used to galvanize public opinion by depicting the enemy as brutal, sadistic, and inhumane while also emphasizing the strength and morality of one’s own side. Other posters depict American soldiers in heroic poses and scenes to encourage men to enlist or others to buy liberty bonds.

Wade Award for the best article published in the journal in the past two years (volumes 11 and 12). Dr. Cole, associate professor of history at the University of Texas Arlington, is honored for her article, “Servants and Slaves in Louisville: Race, Ethnicity, and Household Labor in an Antebellum Border City,” which appeared in the Spring 2011 issue. Our panel of reviewers, drawn from our board of editors, praised “the uniformly high quality” of all the articles, but honored Dr. Cole’s essay for its “solid research in newspapers and correspondence. [She] argues that market considerations governed Louisvillians’ householding decisions and their employment of slaves versus free laborers. [Ultimately, she finds that employers] were wedded to bottom line, not slavery.” Additionally, “Cole’s article documents in wonderful and revealing detail the slow transition from African American slaves to immigrant servants in Louisville’s domestic economy, highlighting the ways in which free and enslaved labor...
