About The Canadian War Posters Collection

The modern, mass-produced poster was made possible by the invention of the lithographic process in 1798. These large, boldly lettered, and eventually colourful, advertisements and announcements, presented to the viewer on vertical surfaces and at eye-level, would have a far more immediate and powerful effect on a public accustomed to handbills and advertisements in newspapers and magazines. By 1890, in Canada, broadside posters were widely circulated and used for a variety of purposes, including government announcements. The recruiting and financing needs of the First World War demanded that governments produce more posters than ever before. Canadian posters for the First World War (as well as for the Second World War) were printed in the major printing centres of Hamilton, Montreal, and Toronto. According to Marc Choko's authoritative book, Canadian War Posters (Meridien 1994), print runs of Canadian war posters ranged anywhere from a few hundred to 50,000 copies. These images created a powerful impact in a variety of public places, from store windows and billboards to the interiors of ferries and factories.

During the First World War, the imagery of Canada's posters was, both thematically and graphically, similar to that of British war posters.This visual affinity was partly due to the imperial and constitutional ties between Canada and Britain.In addition, Canada targeted posters at specific ethnic groups. There were specially designed posters for French Canadians, Irish-Canadians and Canadians of Scottish descent. The bulk of the posters encouraged men to enlist and the public to buy Victory Bonds.
