Around 80 images of classic WWII Poster art compressed into a 2 meg zip file. Reall neat posters! As 60 year old government posters I assume these are public domain. [WWII Poster art](http://mywebpages.comcast.net/cpeek001/70.zip) ---

[Northwestern](http://www.library.northwestern.edu/govpub/collections/wwii-posters/) has an excellent collection online. None better than [this one](http://www.library.northwestern.edu/govpub/collections/wwii-posters/img/ww1647-47.jpg), IMO. 😉 ---

> [@astro](#): > > [Loose lips, sink ships!](http://mywebpages.comcast.net/cpeek001/66.jpg) Finally got around to seeing **The Spanish Prisoner** this week (great film!), and that exact same poster was in the background of some of the scenes at company headquarters. DD
