Czechoslovakia Will Live Again

Thanks for nothing, Neville.

Over a rich and deep blue background a hand waves a Czech flag.  In the background the word 'Appeasement' is crossed out in red.  In the upper right is the notation P with 42 as a subscript.  The publisher is the Czechoslovak Information Service (New York, N.Y.). The poster is 32" x 24".

A series of posters describing the actions of Norwegians with the Allies services and those Norwegians resisting Nazi occupation at home.

Norway Resists on the home front.

Norwegian Sailors on the Seven Seas

The U.S. Government published many posters reminding U.S. citizens of the valuable contributions our allies were making, even those with Governments in exile and with their home countries under German occupation.  All the posters are the same size, 22.5" x 17.5".

This is a duplicate of a poster depicted earlier in this blog.  Please refer to that entry for more information.  This particular copy is a different size (22" x 16") and has a wider white margin.

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi

A smiling Australian soldier in uniform and wearing a slouch hat.  Printed along the bottom is the notation 'GPO Jacket No. 455917'. The poster is 20" x 14".  A web search indicates that the government printed a series of such posters with photos of men from allied nations such as Russian, Dutch, Chinese, English, Canadian, etc.

A 21 Flag salute

This poster is marked as OWI # 64 from 1943.  It is 28" x 20".  The artwork is by Henry Koerner, and depicts artillery barrels firing in unison with the identifying flags of the allied countries.

Planes, ships and tanks move forward.

This poster from 1943 is of the smaller size, 10.5" x 7.5".  I think I have a larger version somewhere in the pile.  I'll have to wait and see what turns up as I make my way through the posters.  It is part of the series of posters emphasizing the many nations fighting alongside the United States.  The artist is Leslie Ragan.

As the photo shows, somehow this poster was bent / folded in the upper right hand corner.  Other than that it is in good shape.

Lady Liberty with the flags of many nations.

So far I have found two of this poster in the collection.  The poster is quite large, measuring 40" x 28".  It is officially noted as OWI Poster # 19 and is from 1942.  I read somewhere, and made a note, that the artist is 'Broder.'  The poster is an etching of the Statue of Liberty on a black background on the left side of the poster. On the right there are pictures of flags of 30 countries. Poster has black background with white text at the top of the page and a white border all around.
