This First World War German poster, designed by Julius Gipkens, relies on bold simplification and strong contrast to deliver its message. A white rabbit with vivid red eyes occupies most of the composition, set against a flat blue background and positioned to peer over a black text panel below. The typography combines white and grey Gothic script within the dark field, with additional blackletter text running along the bottom edge. The clear separation between image and text, along with the limited color palette and striking central figure, creates an immediate and persuasive visual impact typical of wartime lithographic poster design.
