Londres - Inglaterra
Propaganda
The posters were originally produced as a memento of home for troops
serving on the Front Line during the First World War.
Before the First World War, the Underground Group had developed a
reputation for commissioning successful advertising posters. Colourful designs
presented London in a new light, encouraging people to take trips to the
countryside, theatre or the zoo. As the war dragged on it became inappropriate
to promote non-essential leisure travel. Instead, propaganda posters for
display at home and abroad were commissioned.
Four posters, titled 'London Memories', were sent to troops
fighting on the Western Front. The posters were displayed in army billets to
raise morale and to remind soldiers of home.
