Posters were one of the most prevalent means of communicating propaganda messages to American citizens during World War II. Because they were inexpensive to design and print, posters could reach a wide audience with specific messages. Government posters—typically printed in the millions—were by far the most common; they often featured the designs of established and well-known artists (including Norman Rockwell, whose Four Freedoms images quickly became four million war posters). However, corporations and private institutions also produced posters during the war. Whatever their source, many thousands of these posters have survived in archival repositories, leaving a colorful record of what one propagandist called the “war within a war.”
