British 'Remember' Propaganda Label: Lusitania & Edith Cavell

United Kingdom · 1915 · None

This British propaganda label from 1915 is part of the 'Remember' series, commemorating two significant events of World War I: the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and the execution of British nurse Edith Cavell. The design features stark text urging remembrance of these tragedies, serving as a powerful call to action.

These labels were created to galvanize public opinion and recruitment in Britain during WWI, using the perceived atrocities of German actions (unrestricted submarine warfare and the execution of a humanitarian worker) as powerful emotional appeals.
