The First World War witnessed the increasing value of the illustrated press as an element of propaganda. If it undoubtedly contributed to the mobilization of the belligerent nations' home front, it was also crucial to create supportive ties between the powers and the neutral nations, inside and outside Europe. This paper analyzes the case of the magazine América-Latina, published during the war by the British War Propaganda Bureau.
