Artists for Victory, Inc. Many of these were never done as actual posters. Great graphics and wonderful designs on many. Each has artist's biography on back of each stamp. Based in NYC between 1942 and 1946 the Artists For Victory organization included a war poster competition along with other activities. Fifty miniature reproductions of propaganda posters by different American artists. The illustrations presented here include depictions of German U-boat crews machine-gunning shipwrecked sailors, an American sailor with a Japanese sword in this back, a soldier standing over a dead woman with a bloody bayonet, emaciated and terrified children, a dove impaled on a bayonet, and patriotic depictions of American soldiers, planes, factory workers, and agriculture. Commonly-used slogans accompanying the images include: "This is the Enemy", "Slave World or Free World", "Victory Starts Here", "Work to Keep Free", "Deliver Us From Evil", "Join the Silence Squad", and the ubiquitous "Buy More War Bonds and Stamps". The bottom of each image lists the title and artist of the piece, and the verso of each stamp bears a short bio of its artist.
