PICTURE HISTORY
• This picture is from the 1940’s, during the WW2 era (1939-1945).
• Painted by G.K. Odell in 1942
-Picture was meant to promote
sale of Victory Bonds. The money
from these Bonds would go toward
the Canadian war effort.
APPEAL TO ETHOS
•
The ethological appeal of this poster is that if you were a Canadian citizen it was your
duty to protect the innocent from the threat of foreign tyrants and keep their dark hands
from consuming the weak.
APPEAL TO PATHOS
•
In the time of war this print was very emotionally appealing! Who would want 2 dark hands
of terror and destruction to touch an innocent woman and child? So people would buy
Victory bonds to insure that this would not happen to them and their family.
-Today this has little appeal to our society
simply because we don’t have to worry
about the threats of Germany and Japan
like we did back then
APPEAL TO LOGOS
•
Logically, the meaning of this poster is that if you didn’t buy the victory bonds you would
be sealing not only the fate of yourself but the fate of everyone, including the innocent.
AFFECTS ON WORLD
•
In the end this poster and 9 others would go on to help the Canadian Army by giving them
over 8,000,000 dollars
•
This poster is one of the 20 most recognized WW2 propaganda posters due to its mass
appeal to the three visual rhetoric's, ethos, pathos, and logos
