World War II Posters
Official release. This splendid collection of cards contains excellent reproductions from those years between 1939 and 1945 which changed the world forever. I digress here but if you ever get the chance to view the complete series of The World at War narrated by the voice of the Gods, Laurence Olivier from the 1970s then do so. There is nothing out there better in conveying exactly what the people went through during those times. So many key figures interviewed throughout to. Available from amazon.com (direct link)
In terms of presentation and quality of the reproductions, these are the best I've seen of his work. That's a personal opinion though as I prefer the gloss finish to the matt one. Others differ but to me they bring the works alive. You get a flavour of how it will look by looking at the Picasso postcard book I've scanned. Different cards obviously but exactly the same design. Here.
Official Blurb: This original collection of GI Generation posters recaptures the heroic spirit of the Second World War. Vivid reproductions of two dozen morale-boosters include Norman Rockwell's famous "Four Freedoms," C. C. Beall's iconic portrait of the Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima, and other dramatic, inspiring exhortations to buy bonds, volunteer, and work together for victory.
