Great image again!!!

Another amazing shot :)

Agitprop! It's amazing how much influence this essentially communist style had on art elswhere!

wonderful photo!!

Fantastic find Bill and your presentation is excellent...

The Communists did borrow this style of poster art for their purposes later on. I like the widely-posted American version done by Haskell Coffin: a younger, more attractive Joan, and better armor detail. The US Printing Office re-issued these at about 16x24 inch in the 1970s. One is on my wall. Big surprise, huh? I think others have posted the American (Haskell Coffin) version here on Renderosity, but none in a year or so.

oh, another gem. I thank you for cleaning up the poster; it's not easy. (Imagine the job of conservators, who work with the real thing!) The artist is Bert Thomas btw, who was famous: He did art for the Parliament as well as other war posters. drace makes fascinating comments, I didn't know we had a Joan of Arc poster too! I'd think she was strictly for Europeans because Joan isn't part of our history. And yes, it's painted in those marvelous bold-reds against blacks, which the Chinese & Russians used for their propaganda posters: The colors flash "URGENT" in our eyes, it's such a period piece! And you know, museum photography is an area all its own: It's hard to capture pictures of art sitting in dark halls & under glass. You did a good job, the art's not only vivid but you've retained the patina of age. Thanks for these, they're marvelous glimpses into our past (and I'll check out drace's version too)... (Ok, a fantastic link: This is the Library of Congress collection of WWI posters, which is vast. And while you're there, check out their whole collection if you haven't already: It's one of the best historical archives on the web. [Look at their Depression Era photography: A remarkable collection.] ***I couldn't get the link to work: So this is the "search" page: Type "World War I Posters" in the search box & hit "Search". When the results show, hit "show full images" or similar; then you'll see pages of posters. The link is here.)

excellent capture!!

Yeah too much clean up action is not pretty at all is it Bill?...You were right to stop where you did, great work!

a super wonderful capture. Yet there's something ironic in the fact that the British willingly helped the king of France burn Joan at the stake during the One Hundred Years' War ! O Tempora O Mores (Oh Time, Oh Customs)said the Latins.

Yes History!! Thanks for share this

Another interesting poster. Thanks for showing this.

Different style to the previous one, but another impressive piece.Thanks Bill.

Great find Bill!!!

Nothing to say but a fabulous capture of the call to British femmes to purchase certificates to help fund the war effort. Remember we've had Liberty Bonds, Defense Bonds and War Bonds in our history.

It looks really good Bill, good cleanup and nice shot!

You've got to expect some wear and tear to show at that age!!! Amazing how they thought this would appeal to women.

Gorgeous artwork! Definitely a historical and meaningful piece indeed, and amazing to see the great influences of the times and how powerful they could be... Great colors and clarity!

War Bonds! Great capture.

Fantastic find and post Bill!

This is great

Great historical images you have been posting recently, Bill.

Don't you just love these moral boosting tidbits, :)

A well captured propaganda poster. Not surprised that it was repeated for the USA. However, the British propagandists conveniently forgot the Joan saved France from the ENGLISH!

Great pic, :o) :0) laughing at Buffalo1's comment.

Bill! This looks better than we saw it/them! You have done a really impressive job on this and the French poster! You have found your forte in creating art postings.... Your etchings were superb as well! Excellent! Rob.
