The splint picture was an information and propaganda publication consisting of an illustration, most often made in a specific, stylized folk manner and an expanded text, poetic or prose. With the old splint, the splint of the early twentieth century was related to the laconism of visual means, a rough stroke, bright coloring, deliberately altered proportions and perspective. During the First World War, the development of the Russian splint continued, especially military-event, as in our case.
