以为是时候分享更多海报了，所以我们去了。第一个是从1960年代开始的，并鼓励年轻人留在学校。至于第二海报，这是为了节省旧的USS的努力俄勒冈州。The ship was scrapped in the 50’s, but pieces of it remain in the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland Oregon, including the mast. The third is a recruiting poster ca 1917 by artist Joseph Christian Leyendecker.

The first poster in this set is also WWI and encourages people to buy victory notes. The second is WWII by artist Allen Saalburg and works at encouraging patriotism by reminding people of the lives lost in the Pearl Harbor disaster. The third is also WWII (1944) and stands as a reminder that Americans were also fighting on the Pacific front, not just in Europe where the fighting was coming to a close. It was done by artist P. Kolada

Our first poster is ca 1917 recruiting poster for WWI, done by artist L.N. Britton. Keeping with the eagle theme, the second poster is also ca 1917 and was done by artist James Henry Daugherty. The image is a little dark, but when you see the poster close up the colors are very vibrant and eye-catching. We have an even larger version of this poster and I love to look it. The third picture ca 1918 by artist Albert Herter. I had never seen a YMCA poster this old before, so I thought it was pretty neat.

This second group starts with another WWI era poster, ca 1917. It clearly is trying to appeal to emotions. The second poster is from 1917 and encourages people to buy bonds to aid the war effort. The third is the only WWII poster in this group, being from ca 1944. This poster was part of a set that warned soldiers/sailors about the dangers of booby traps, encouraging them away from scavenging for souvenirs to take home. We have quite a lot of these in our collection!

这次我们有了第二次世界大战的海报。第一个鼓励家族阵线上的人在夏季为美国农作物军团在农场上工作，以便可以继续为我们的海外部队生产食物。第二个更令人震惊，这意味着纳粹是敌人，对基督教的威胁。第三件作品来自纽波特新闻造船和干码头公司，并鼓励工人继续生产，以便军方拥有所需的东西。

该小组中的第一个也来自纽波特新闻造船，并鼓励人们拼车工作。我一直很喜欢与造船厂海报一起使用的押韵。第二海报是第一次世界大战时代，并具有柔和的颜色和图像，我总是觉得如此吸引人。这是由艺术家詹姆斯·蒙哥马利·弗拉格（James Montgomery Flagg）完成的，以帮助招募男人到海军。最后一张海报也是招募海报，但来自第二次世界大战。我知道李通常是很好的，但是在第二次世界大战的海报上看到他的脸似乎很奇怪。也许这件作品是针对特定观众的。

A couple of months ago I shared images of posters in our collection. Photographing all of the posters is one of my goals this year as I know that we have some pretty fantastic ones and it would be great to have updated photographs of all of them. When the project is completed, the photos will be entered into our database where they will be available to anyone searching our collection online. I’ve recently been able to work on the project again, so I thought I would share some more posters!

When Research pays off

MS15-14558Kronprinzessin Cecilie-LightWell (1)

There is nothing quite so satisfying in my job then when I make an interesting discovery regarding objects in our collection. A couple of weeks ago I was researching some of the North German Lloyd ships,Kaiser Wilhelm II和克朗普林斯·威廉, when I came across a picture of the First Class Dining Room forKronprinzessin Cecilie。现在，我以前看过这张照片（如下所示），但并没有真正看过它。

This time I noticed that the decorative piece in the center looked familiar so I zoomed in and sure enough, it is a piece in our collection! The four cherubs around it (only three are visible in this picture) are also in our collection.阅读更多
