The 1918 original poster titled Ligue Maritime Française - Les Réalités de la Guerre sur Mer was created by Léon Haffner, a renowned French artist and naval illustrator. Known for his depictions of maritime themes, Haffner produced this piece during the final year of World War I, under the commission of the Ligue Maritime Française. This poster was part of a broader campaign by the Ligue Maritime Française to raise awareness of France’s naval challenges and achievements during the war. The focus was on the harsh realities faced by the French Navy as it defended the country’s waters against the threat of German U-boats (submarines). By highlighting the significant victories of the French Navy, particularly the destruction of numerous German submarines, this work was intended to educate the public about the importance of France's maritime defense during the war. The Ligue Maritime Française played a crucial role in promoting maritime interests in France, especially during a time when naval power was critical to national security. Through this poster and similar works, the organization aimed to strengthen public support for the war effort by emphasizing the vital role of the French Navy in protecting the nation. Léon Haffner's involvement in this project underscores his reputation as an artist who could convey the significance of naval warfare through his work. His contributions helped elevate public consciousness regarding the maritime front of World War I, fostering both pride in French naval accomplishments and awareness of the ongoing risks and challenges faced by the nation at sea. The 1918 poster Les Réalités de la Guerre sur Mer is more than just a piece of wartime propaganda; it serves as a historical document, reflecting the broader efforts of France to mobilize public opinion and support for the war. It remains an important artifact from World War I, capturing a critical aspect of the conflict and Léon Haffner's role in illustrating the maritime realities of that time.
