From the March 30th USA Today by Cliff Radell of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
346 Unspoiled Pieces of Propaganda Art, Some By Norman Rockwell, Head to Auction to Fetch War's Spoils.
A very interesting article to me as I am quite fond of Depression and World War II posters.
The war has been over a long-time and its warriors a quickly vanishing breed, but somehow 346 posters sat in a box for all those years and look just as good as the day they were printed.
Vernon Rader owns them and soon they will be up for auction at the Humler & Nolan Auction House in Cincinnati.
These posters can be categorized:
WARNINGS-- Loose lips sink ships. A sailors lifeless body washes up on shore as a ship sinks on the horizon and the words "a careless word...A NEEDLESS LOSS."
SALES PITCHES TO BUY WAR BONDS0-- A farmer in his field of wheat and "Our good earth...Keep it ours, BUY WAR BONDS."
More to Come. --DaCoot
