Fit Men Wanted: Original Posters from the Home Front

The best of the Imperial War Museums'' collection of more than 30,000 British government wartime proclamations. ''Eat Less Bread''; ''Beer: A Necessity to the Strength of Britain''; ''Fit Men Wanted''; ''Victory is in the Kitchen''; ''The Supreme Test of British Womanhood Comes Now'': such stirring messages exhorted citizens to do their bit for the war effort. Today they seem charmingly innocent, quintessentially British, and often very funny, and the posters that bear them are a treasury of vintage graphics. Like the much-loved ''Keep Calm and Carry On'' poster, these proclamations are just what we need to keep a stiff upper lip and a sense of humour in our own troubled times. - Features 62 detachable posters
