Canadian war posters : 1914-1918; 1939-1945 / by Marc H. Choko.: P60-4/8-1993E-PDF

"Canadian War Posters" is a graphic lesson in Canadian history during two world wars. This is the definitive book of the artistic effort behind the war effort, giving us a clear picture of life at home and on the frontlines. From the jovial and humorous privately financed art of the First World War to the controlled and centralized government campaigns of the Second World War, posters spoke to the emotions in ways that words could not. The book's beautiful illustrations are poignant testimony to our coming of age on the bloody battlefields of distant lands during two of the most horrendous conflicts of this century.
