Posters in Paris

Some of the most striking instances of illustrative art is to be found on the many patriotic posters that were printed during the war. In large cities and certainy in Paris they were to be seen almost everywhere : on billboards, on kiosks, in the Metro and on walls throughout the city.

Here are a few posters that specifically have to do with events taking place in Paris itself. Most are for charity events, either goverment or sponsered by official organizations.
