1940s

The 1940s were shaped almost entirely by the war and its aftermath. Governments on every side poured resources into graphic communication, producing some of the most direct and purposeful design of the century. When the war ended, that same energy shifted into commercial work, with advertisers and travel companies picking up where the propaganda offices left off. The pieces shown here are period originals from both halves of the decade.
