World War 1 and 2 posters, public notices and broadsides
This wonderful collection of posters, public notices and broadsides are fascinating and fun works of art. We have World War 1 conscription posters designed to persuade men and women to enlist voluntarily in the Army and Navy; World War 2 campaign posters by the Ministry of Defence to uphold the morale of the nation and public notices and broadsides which were initially used to extend the power of the ruling classes by communicating directly with the public. Over time, these became a popular method of informing the populace about every conceivable aspect of life.
