Porto-Service, Chicago Give them "Hell-o from us!"
Lithograph 26.5x18cm 1942 What better writing paper to send to a serving serviceman than one encouraging him to fight. Porto-Service of Chicago published a series of illustrated writing resources for sweethearts and friends to write to their brave servicemen, in this case in a four-engined bomber over Berlin. Lavishly produced and printed, the Americans brought some much-needed colour and glamour to dull war-torn Britain. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Condition: Very good. -

Bulgarian pro-natalist propaganda poster design (circa 1950s)
Gouache on board 17 x 12 cm After a Communist takeover in 1945, Bulgaria was a Soviet ally during the Cold War, and maintained good relationships with Russia until the Revolutions of 1989. From 1945 to 1948, the country became entrenched within the Soviet sphere of influence under the control of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP) which oversaw a program of Stalinization in the late 1940s and 1950s. Both countries are Slavic nations, and are bound together by a common Orthodox Christian culture. This poster design, painted in warm pink-purple tones and depicting a Bulgarian soldier holding a toddler aloft, was designed as post-war pro-natalist propaganda (likely from the 1950s). Bulgaria and its Soviet allies had lost a huge number of men during the war, and this design for a poster was intended to encourage Bulgarians to have more children. Condition: very good.

Soviet Union socialist irrigation Bulgarian propaganda poster design (circa 1950s)
Gouache on board 18 x 11 cm After a Communist takeover in 1945, Bulgaria was a Soviet ally during the Cold War, and maintained good relationships with Russia until the Revolutions of 1989. From 1945 to 1948, the country became entrenched within the Soviet sphere of influence under the control of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP) which oversaw a program of Stalinization in the late 1940s and 1950s. Both countries are Slavic nations, and are bound together by a common Orthodox Christian culture. This poster design features huge juicy vegetables, grown as the result of newly-implemented irrigation systems. Socialist farming practices in Bulgaria were commonplace during its time as a Soviet ally or 'satellite'; the government was keen to encourage well-yielding farming practices and to be seen as a protector of agricultural infrastructure turing this turbulent period of the 20th century. Condition: very good. If you’d like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. -
Soviet Union pro-Lenin Marxist Bulgarian propaganda poster design (circa 1950s)
Gouache on board 20 x 11.5 cm After a Communist takeover in 1945, Bulgaria was a Soviet ally during the Cold War, and maintained good relationships with Russia until the Revolutions of 1989. From 1945 to 1948, the country became entrenched within the Soviet sphere of influence under the control of the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP) which oversaw a program of Stalinization in the late 1940s and 1950s. Both countries are Slavic nations, and are bound together by a common Orthodox Christian culture. This poster design is a piece of Leninist propaganda, designed to make Bulgarians associate Lenin and Soviet Marxist rule with efficiency and plenty. It is inscribed to the reverse in Bulgarian 'To grow plants in rows next to each other - the thickest row with straight cobs'. The Pirin Mountains referred to in the top left-hand corner are a mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria. Condition: very good.

Join the New Regular Army - A Real Man's Life
Published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. Printed by Chromoworks Limited, 1959 Lithographic poster 75x50cm Worsley was a war artist during World War II who was captured by the Germans and then an illustrator for Eagle comic. Click here for further biographical details and other posters by Worsley. The Soldier of the Queen depicted is a tank commander. At the time the poster was printed the main location for deployment of tanks was West Germany. In 1946 the British Army of the Rhine was created to protect Germany - and indeed Europe - from a Soviet invasion. Numbering up to 80,000 soldiers it was estimated that in the event of war the life expectancy of a tank commander would be less than two days. A Real Man's Life indeed.
