Halt The Hun! Third Liberty Loan

The image of the "bloodthirsty Hun" was one of the major themes in American World War I propaganda posters. The artist of this poster, Henry Patrick Raleigh (1880-1944), produced a number of artworks during the First World War that followed this common portrayal of the Austria-Hungarian Empire.

Henry Patrick Raleigh was an American artist during the golden age of magazine illustration. At the peak of his career, he was one of the highest paid illustrators, and was recognized by art critics. He grew up in the newspaper industry, having started at age 17 working for the San Francisco Examiner before moving to New York at the behest of famed publisher, William Randolph Hearst. He worked for many New York papers and magazines and produced thousands of illustrations. He also created literary illustrations for works by Agatha Christie, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and many more.
