Publisher's Synopsis
Introducing a new range of notebooks with iconic images from the archives of the Imperial War Museum. These notebooks are exquisitely finished and cloth bound with wood-free paper, large back pocket and elastic closure. These striking images were originally illustrated for Second World War posters. British wartime posters were distinctive in their incorporation of propaganda which incorporated modern design aesthetics in support of a variety of vital wartime initiatives. The posters reveal the spirit of defiance and calm purpose pervading British society. The illustrations are indicative of the typical graphic style of the wartime period. This book is part of a new range of stationery produced by IWM (Imperial War Museums), the world's leading authority on conflict and its impact, focusing on Britain from World War I to the present. Through unique collections, vivid personal stories, and powerful physical experiences, they aim to enrich people's understanding of the causes, courses, and consequences of modern war. IWM have five branches: IWM London, Churchill War Rooms, HMS Belfast, IWM Duxford, and IWM North in Manchester.
