What it is
A poster Louis Oppenheim designed in Germany in 1917, from the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
Under the title, Who Is the Victor?, a chart sets out how much territory the Central Powers had gained. Oppenheim's statistical posters set German numbers against the enemy's, the design type collectors know him by.
What to notice
On the left a German soldier stands behind a large shape for the land the Central Powers held; on the right a soldier the record takes for British rests his foot on a tiny piece for the Entente's share.
A war won on paper, by the map.
