MacArthur Museum's WWI posters to go on view
The MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History has completed a four-year project to conserve 50 World War I propaganda posters donated to the museum by Dr. Florence Bush in 1999 and will celebrate with a reception from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5.
The poster above was part of an online exhibit of WWI posters of the Cincinnati Museum Center; you can find other examples of WWI propaganda artwork on this Time Magazine site as well.
Here's what the Cincinnati Museum writes about WWI posters, which notes the new image of women as workers in some of the posters:
World War I (1914-1918) featured the use of posters as a means of communication on a mass scale never seen before. The medium was employed extensively by both sides, the Allied Powers and the Central Powers, for many of the same purposes during the war.
