First World War Posters by Rosalind Ormiston

2014 will mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War. First World War Posters is a striking and insightful foray into what this conflict meant to people all over the world and how their governments used poster art as a powerful appeal to everyone in society. Featuring fantastic posters from the UK, US, Canada, Australia and Europe, the human angle really comes through. With a fresh and thoughtful introduction to the war and its posters, the book goes on to showcase the key works in all their glory.
