A kiss-cut vinyl sticker featuring a detail of Give More Good Books, 1943, by an unknown designer.
During World Wars I and II, it was necessary to provide materials to maintain soldier morale. Because foot soldiers had to carry all of their possessions, books proved to be ideal for entertainment, education, and comfort. The United States and other countries relied on public book donations and fundraising to supply soldiers with reading material, and many posters were produced to mobilize the public to give. By World War II, books had also become a powerful symbol of freedom and democracy for the United States and its allies.
This book-carrying eagle was featured in a 1943 poster promoting the Victory Book Campaign. A modernist iteration of the United States' national emblem with wings shaped like a “V,” often used in wartime images to denote Victory.
Manufactured for Poster House by Busy Beaver Button Co. Measures 4.5 x 3.15 inches.
