"Buy a Bulldog" and 1900 other WWI posters

I did a search and could not find a previous ref to this

so just in case you have missed it and have not visited before

then see the collection at the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C. USA

here http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/pphome.html

scroll down to item 50 - POSTERS: WORLD WAR I POSTERS [wwipos] 1914-1920. American, Australian, Austrian, British, Canadian, French, German, Italian and other posters supporting the war effort

then click Preview All the Images

and enjoy

Thank you, Michael. I’ve saved the site to revisit.

I had a look at the Alsace section, which is often overlooked. I particularly enjoyed seeing again the poster depicting soldiers on a hillside looking wistfully at Strasbourg cathedral’s characteristic silhouette in the distance, defiantly surmounted with a French flag. It’s impossible for me to be in the foothills of the Vosges on a day when you can see across the plain as far as Strasbourg and not think of this image, especially as the evidence of the two World Wars is poignantly prominent in the region.
