The rest of the posts will be a photo of each poster, whatever information I could find out about the poster using some quick google searches. Some notes are appropriate here.
These posters are all vintage / original. They have been folded and stored for 70+ years. So when I unfolded each for a photograph I did not try to flatten them completely and 'iron out' the fold marks. I wanted to be as gentle as possible with the posters, and folded them back up immediately when finished making the image. The posters were folded originally, as they were mailed to the recipients, so I prefer to leave them in that state. If you are interested in better images there are photos on other websites that are professionally done.
The posters are not for sale.
Since starting my research I've found that there is a lot of information about these posters on the internet, though certainly some posters have much more information than others. If I reference information might be subject to copyright, or I consider to be original or insightful, I will link to the source. Other information is simply factual and in those cases I will not link.
So . . . Lets get started, shall we?
The official Canadian government archives have high quality digitized versions of most of the Canadian posters you have! :)
