I collect/sell WWI & WWII posters. A few years ago, found a stash of WWI posters up in NW Iowa...they had been in a closet for nearly 100 years! Many WWI posters are particularly beautiful; many of the noted illustration artists at the time were recruited to create them.

Have originals of these two hanging within 15' of me as we "speak." Note the "melting pot" theme of "Americans All"

Many WWI posters are particularly beautiful; many of the noted illustration artists at the time were recruited to create them.

The American posters were often quite lovely, though the female form was relied on to the point of ludicrousness. The German ones (by Hohlwein, Bernhard, Engelhard, Gipkens, Erdt...) were usually more striking. Despite their great gift for influencing public opinion during the war, British posters were generally a dull lot.

America has gone from the melting pot to America smoking pot.

In 1992 I was in Monterey, CA at a Navy school and came across a collection of nearly 100 WWII posters at a little antique shop in Pacific Grove. Nearly every OWI poster was there and the only duplicates were Rockwell’s Four Freedoms.
Still have them all, as I had to promise never to break up the collection, which I never will.
