About the Item
Vintage official reproduction of a poster designed for London Transport - The Imperial War Museum Underground to London North or Elephant & Castle - featuring colourful illustrations of historic items on display inside the shape of the museum including a bi-plane and tanks, guns and other weapons, a military helmet and uniform on a stand, an RSM navy anchor shield badge, a World War One Totenkopf skull and crossbones on a pennant flag, a Zeppelin / blimp airship and a warship in camouflage colours, a Nazi Swastika* on a black Iron Cross and a Parteiadler Nazi Germany eagle emblem (National Socialist German Workers' Party / Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) with the date 1939 (the start of World War Two), the text with the London Underground roundel below - The Imperial War Museum displays in profusion devices for the slaughter of one's fellow men. But less obviously it is also a remarkable gallery of modern art - Epstein, Augustus John, Paul Nash, Nevinson, Bone, Rothenstein, Sargent, Spencer, Piper, Willliam Roberts, Laura Knight, Sutherland and many others, are all finely represented. A case, if ever there was one, of good from evil. The Imperial War Museum (IWM) was founded in 1917; the IWM London headquarters / Southwark branch opened on Lambeth Road in 1936; the museum's other branches are IWM Duxford, IWM North, HMS Belfast and the Churchill War Rooms. Good condition, creasing, tears, minor staining.
*Note: the 1935-1945 flag of Germany featuring the swastika has been covered in the image but appears as originally printed on the poster itself.)

Located in Colorado Springs, CO
"Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI Poster, 1915
This vintage British recruitment poster, published in 1915, calls on men to join the Army.
