Fit Men Wanted by Thames Hudson
Reproduces the Imperial War Museum's collection of over 30,000 British Government wartime posters and proclamations, mostly from the First and Second World Wars, and most forgotten after their initial use. This title contains stirring messages that once exhorted citizens to do their bit for the war effort: Eat Greens for Health, and more.
