Description
Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good actions; try to use ordinary situations.
Jean Paul Richter, German author
World War II posters helped to mobilize a nation….Government agencies, businesses, and private organizations issued an array of poster images linking the military front with the home front—calling upon every American to boost production at work and at home…. Both medium and message spoke of democracy, which made posters ideal for expressing American war aims: why we fight, what we fight for.
