The Cartoon in Wartime Propaganda
This exhibition explores the role of the cartoon in wartime propaganda - to sustain civilian morale, encourage army recruitment and strengthen the relationships between Britain and her allies.
Among dozens of dramatic images, mainly drawn from the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College London, are copies of French posters from the Boer War, 1899-1901, and artwork belonging to Edwin Embleton, Studio Manager at the Ministry of Information during the Second World War.
