abstract
Postcards and posters were the primary medium of visual communication during the World War I. Propaganda used them to incite patriotism in the reader, using various images and visual motives. One of them was the portrayal of home. This article explores how was home depicted on the Central Powers‘ and Entente’s posters and postcards and if there were any differences and/or similarities between them.
