Canadian World War I Posters

In World War I, the Canadian government used colour posters as an affordable means of mass communication. The war posters were large, printed on cheap paper and produced in runs from a few hundred to 65,000. War posters were put up in just about any public place where people gathered. The war posters were often heavy on text with fairly passive images, although the imagery used on Canadian World War I war posters tended to get more dramatic as the war progressed and casualties mounted. Take a look through this gallery of Canadian World War I Posters to get a feel of World War I in Canada.
