"Halt the Hun!" is a propaganda poster created by Henry Patrick Raleigh in 1918, urging Americans to support the war effort by purchasing U.S. Government Bonds for the Third Liberty Loan. The poster depicts a heroic American soldier standing over a fallen German soldier, with a distressed woman and child in the foreground amidst a fiery backdrop, symbolizing the devastation of war and the need for American support. This poster exemplifies the powerful imagery used during World War I to mobilize the public, and it remains a significant piece of American art history.
