OriginalDestroy this Mad Brute: Enlist (1917), a propaganda poster by Harry R. Hopps which shows a terrifying gorilla with a helmet labeled "militarism" holding a bloody club labeled "kultur" and a half-naked woman as he stomps onto the shore of America. Released as the Americans entered WWI, it is an interesting example of Anti-German sentiment in the US. (Also, was he King Kong's older brother?)
Reason
Ginormous (yes, that's a word; Chrome says so) American poster from WWI, depicting the Germans as a gorilla kidnapping a half-naked damsel in distress, wielding a bloody club labeled "kultur" and wearing a Pickelhaube labeled Militarism.

  • Right, but I guess what I was wondering is whether it's fundamentally part of the poster design, or whether it was stamped on this particular copy of the poster. Hard to know if we don't have multiple sources of it... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 13:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
