Utilizing bold lines and gestural strokes, Raleigh shows the ever heroic American soldier halting the advances of the barbaric German \u201cHun.\u201d Despite the distorted nature of the expressionist style, the emotions of the cowering, victimized woman are clear as she is shown fearfully looking up at her assailant, clutching her pallid, seemingly lifeless infant. The scene depicts the utter carnage of World War I in a way that both recognizes the <span class=\"s1\">realities of war, yet fetishizes American <\/span>involvement, thereby driving the viewer to buy bonds so that he or she personally could help stop further Hunnic advances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/wwiposters\/gallery\/posters\/\">Return To Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Halt the Hun!, 1918 Henry Raleigh (American, 1880-1945) Lithograph on paper On loan from the Joseph M.
