In the 70s, Liberty Magazine was revived for a time. They had a catalog of Anti War posters that were reprints of some from perhaps the 30/40s trying to get people to remain isolationist or some such. Naturally, I didn’t buy any back then. I recall one in particular was of some hot bodied babe with a skull for a face (representing War) hanging around at the front of a speakeasy or something and she was saying to some young guy “Come on in, boy, I knew your father”…At any rate I want a website where these posters with this similar theme (Pre-WW2 Isolationism/Peace/Anti-War) are reproduced. Can anyone help??

I, personally, have no clue where you might find them (although I have seen the poster you mentioned reproduced in a book).

If no one comes up with better suggestions, you might try cruising or writing to these sites:
