Description

The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is marking the centenary of the First World War by releasing a collection of propaganda posters, coinciding with an exhibit of the same name. Alongside thirty images of these posters, curator Mora Dianne O’Neill’s essay details their importance as historical documents that shaped public attitudes and reveal the collective memory of the war years. Also included are short artist biographies and a selected bibliography.
