During WWII, England relied heavily on the willingness of its citizens to lend money to the government, in the form of war bonds. Posters were published and posted throughout streets and storefronts, urge people to support the war by purchasing War Bonds.
The war ushered in the biggest advertising campaign to date, critical to the wartime communication needs of every combatant: from raising money, recruiting soldiers and boosting volunteer efforts, to spurring production and provoking outrage at enemy atrocities. The stark, colorful graphic designs, created by some of the nation’s leading artists, elicited strong emotions.
