World War I propaganda poster. Austrian soldiers

The Austrians Cursed Loudly near the Carpathian Mountains. This World War I propaganda poster, created by Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893--1930), depicts Austrian soldiers retreating from the 1914 Russian invasion of Galicia, near the Carpathian Mountains. The terrified Austrians are pursued by the victorious Russian cavalry. With limited colors and basic contour drawing the artist achieves a simple and comical picture. The strength of the Russians is emphasized by a long file of mounted soldiers, their commander boldly charging the enemy and brandishing his saber. The verse below the picture reads: The Austrians cursed loudly near the Carpathian Mountains. They were chased across all of Galicia, a gang with stupid faces
