[ 02.1 ] The collection

Vintage propaganda posters from the First and Second World Wars, reproduced from US wartime designs held in public archives. Every print is an unframed archival reproduction, made to order.

[ 02.2 ] Questions 04

01Which propaganda posters are in this collection?

Six posters from the First and Second World Wars: Uncle Sam I Want You, Food Will Win the War, Sow the Seeds of Victory, Fight or Buy Bonds, Some Birds Talk Too Much and Calling WAAC. Each is reproduced from US wartime designs held in public archives as an unframed giclée print on 230gsm archival matte paper.

02Are the propaganda posters originals or reproductions?

Reproductions. Every print is an archival giclée made to order from a public-archive copy of the wartime design, not a period original. The paper is 230gsm archival matte paper, and the prints ship unframed, flat in a protective mailer or rolled in a crush-resistant tube, depending on size.

03What sizes do the propaganda posters come in?

It varies by design because the originals have different proportions: Food Will Win the War comes in eight sizes from 8x12 to 26x40 inches, Fight or Buy Bonds in four sizes from 9x12 to 24x32 inches, and Sow the Seeds of Victory in three sizes from 11x17 to 26x40 inches. Each product page lists its sizes.

04Where do vintage propaganda posters fit in a room?

Offices, studies and home libraries, where a single bold lithograph with a short slogan reads as a graphic statement; Uncle Sam I Want You is the design most people recognise. For other graphic poster styles see the Vintage Travel Posters collection, which holds the WPA See America series.
