Propaganda Poster Collaborative Analysis


GYU EUN’S PROPAGANDA POSTER

Based on this document, the propaganda poster shows us the Congress of Vienna bringing back feudalism causing the 1848 revolutions. The Congress of Vienna, being a reactionary force is against enlightenment ideals which promotes violence within Europe. In this poster Feudalism is depicted as a grave which has a protruding zombie hand suggesting that it is being brought back to life. The hand is shown to be dug out by a shovel labeled “The Congress of Vienna” implying that they dug Feudalism up. The common lady represents the people reacting frightened by the return of feudalism. This shows the main cause of the 1848 revolutions is the return of feudalism.
