wartime posters
Patriotic recruitment art
Wartime posters are government-produced graphics designed to influence civilian behavior and morale during armed conflict.
They typically urge enlistment, promote war bonds, discourage sharing sensitive information (Loose lips sink ships), or demonize the enemy.
The term evokes the distinctive visual style of World War I and II propaganda: bold colors, simple messages, iconic imagery like Uncle Sam or Rosie the Riveter.
