Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

Italy's Ultra-Dramatic War Posters

There was such an enthusiastic response to my recent article on my favorite war posters that I thought I might share some other interesting specimens with our readers.  You would probably guess that the nation that produced Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael might be pretty good at producing spectacular visual propaganda, and you would be absolutely correct.  Here are some examples of the war work of Italian artists.

One other related matter.  One of our commentators on the early article asked where he could purchase such posters. Well, the last I checked, there was an active market for posters on eBay.  There's also at least one fairly expensive price guide for poster collectors titled World War I Posters  that can be found HERE.
