Abstract
The WWII Collection brings together posters, cartoons and ephemera related to the war effort. The bulk of the collection is comprised of posters created in the U.S. between 1938 and 1946, but also includes several posters from Canada, France, Great Britain, Netherlands and New Zealand. These range from recruitment calls from the various branches of the military to home front initiatives by the Civilian Production Administration, the Office of War Information and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A considerable number of posters were created by renowned artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, James Montgomery Flagg, Norman Rockwell, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) and Ben Shahn. The ephemera items consist of a range of artifacts, handbills, pamphlets and scrapbooks. The folio of 42 prints “Anti-Nazi cartoons,” was produced as a limited edition by Moscow, VOKS, 1943.
Biographical/Historical
World War II (WWII) was a global war that spanned 1939-1945 and involved more than 100 million people from over 30 nations. The United States entered the war in 1941 following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. By the first of January 1942, the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and China along with 22 smaller or exiled governments issued the Declaration by United Nations that affirmed the Atlantic Charter and the goals of the Allied nations in Europe and the Pacific.
World War II posters helped to mobilize people in the United States and other nations. The inexpensive and accessible format enabled messages to be widely disseminated. Government agencies, businesses, and private organizations used the fine and commercial arts in conjunction with simple slogans to link the military front with the home front and call upon men and women to enlist, buy bonds, conserve, boost production and/or refrain from discussing war preparations. In June 1942, the Office of War Information (OWI) was created to control the content and imagery of U.S. government messages.
The OWI developed six themes:
- The Nature of the Enemy
- The Nature of our Allies
- The Need to Work
- The Need to Fight
- The Need to Sacrifice
- The Americans—what we are fighting for: the four freedoms, the principles of the Atlantic Charter, democracy, and an end to discrimination against races and religions.1
The Ministry of Information in Great Britain and VOKS, the Wartime Information Board in Canada and the Soviet Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries operated along similar lines as the OWI.
