Inspiring Youth

Here was another postcard belonging to 1916. This one was released by the army in a stylized print to motivate women and men to become soldiers and nurses in the time of First World War. However, the image posted on top of the postcard looked more like a snap from a romantic movie than recruiting card. 

To Reach Public

If you look at the picture carefully you would see a caption below it. The line translates for “A house destroyed by the enemy.” In those days, people’s only source of information was newspapers and radio. So, the government used to publish prints of this sort and distribute it in the public to impart information related to war. These type of prints were often distributed during the war.

She found a Nivea cream too. No doubt, these containers were in remarkably good state, opening them up after so many decades to see how it survived all these years did not seem a great idea.   

Kaiser’s Heir

This photo features Kaiser’s heir at the time of the First World War. Though today it was a rare item in those days these kinds of photos were very common and could easily be found in every other house of Germany. No doubt, this box was a time capsule that once again brought the most regretted and controversial past to the present.
