Otto Arpke Zaudert nicht, sondern meldet Euch / World War I vintage poster 1919 37.25 h x 27.75 w in (95 x 70 cm) Designed by Otto Arpke, German artist well-known for his Art Deco graphics, this recruitment poster shows the hardened face of a helmeted soldier beside the command "Zaudert nicht, sondern meldet Euch" ("Do not hesitate, but sign up"), urging young men to join the Freiwilligen Division Lettow-Vorbeck. Produced during the unstable aftermath of World War I, the work reflects the rise of nationalist Freikorps militias in Germany, which recruited demobilized soldiers and volunteers to combat revolutionary unrest and defend conservative political interests in the early Weimar Republic. An example of this poster is held in the collection of the Hoover Institution, Library & Archives, Stanford, CA. J. Sauer G.m.b.H., Berlin This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.
