A few Russian posters made their appearance previous to the Revolution in that unhappy country. Others have occasionally been issued since, though we have seen none of any outstanding merit. We reproduce, in illustration No. 77, a poster which, when exhibited, was described as a "Bolshevist cartoon"; but there seems more reason to regard it as an example of German propaganda in Russia, of the period following the so-called Peace of Brest-Litovsk. Europe, a sad and worn woman, stands with a youth before an idol which bears the name "Anglia"; below is the inscription, in Russian characters: "How much longer shall we sacrifice our sons to this accursed idol?" It is at best a poor thing, and, if German, most carefully designed to bear the impress of a Russian product. A series of six eminently successful posters was issued as an appeal to the Czecho-Slovak people in the United States. For consistent merit, alike in design, colour, and general conception, they take a high place among the posters of the War. The artist, V. Preissig, is a Bohemian living in America, who did the work for the sake of recruiting his fellow-countrymen there. Perhaps the best of them is that shown in our coloured illustration, No. 76, "Czecho-Slovaks! Join our free colours!" with its flags of the four Bohemian States as its main feature, carried by marching men whose heads come in dark silhouette along the bottom of the design. The poster is admirably planned, and the lettering on this and the whole series is simple and distinguished. Many of us in England recall with amusement the various spy stories which went the rounds among otherwise perfectly reliable people in the early days of the War. We all seemed for a time to have an intimate friend or relation whose nursery governess, butler, or confidential clerk had been discovered in a wanton act of espionage. It was on the most unimpeachable authority. Happily it was left for Brazil to embody its attack of this spy-fever in the form of a poster. "Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut," runs its legend. The poster shows representations of the different disguises under which spies are probably concealing themselves--as nursemaids, schoolboys, tramps, and so on--and warns the public to avoid them. Life in Brazil would doubtless be exciting for an innocent stranger whilst the mania lasted.
