Description

This World War I poster, illustrated by Arthur William Brown, was produced for the United War Work Campaign of November 11-18, 1918, an effort to support American soldiers overseas. The image depicts a moment of camaraderie between two soldiers, with one standing and pouring a hot drink for the other, who looks up with gratitude. The YMCA logo is prominently displayed in the background, emphasizing the organization’s role in providing aid and comfort to troops.

The tagline "For Your Boy" personalizes the appeal, inviting viewers to think of the soldiers as their own family members, inspiring a sense of duty and connection. The warm tones and soft shading of the illustration lend a gentle, approachable quality to the figures, contrasting with the hardships of war symbolized by the resting rifle and helmet on the ground. Brown’s expressive style and attention to emotion capture the bond and reliance between soldiers, aligning with the campaign's message to provide support for these "boys" in uniform.

Prepared by the Ministry of Supply in 1951, this poster provides images and data of the Soviet-made Ilyushin IL-12 twin-engine aircraft. The dominant rendering shows "Аэрофлот" or Aeroflot on the front fuselage and "СССР-Л1701," on the back fuselage, its registration number, matching an Il-12 seen at the Poznan fair in 1948. The Il-12 was widely exported and used as passenger aircraft and military transport. In its most common use as a mid- and short-haul passenger aircraft, it even served a few European destinations outside the Iron Curtain, such as Vienna, Stockholm, and Paris.
