Scrap salvage propaganda poster edit

An American propaganda poster from World War II produced under the Works Progress Administration which displays the anti-Japanese sentiment of the time.

Reason: I was surprised to see no proper quality propaganda posters. This displays the racism (Japanese as snakes, the buck-tooth thing, etc, etc) and artistic style (the heavily stylized eagle) of American propaganda in WWII.

Support This actually has some quality issues, but I think that that is from the printing and there is little that can be done about it. The colors are not uniform, and as such, it looks like a bad scan, even though I am sure it isn't. Nezzadar ☎ 05:19, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- This type of lithography often loses uniformity in its colors as it ages. Durova³⁴² 15:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Except it's not a lithograph; lithographs don't age that way anyway. Might I suggest what you meant to say was Early serigraphy often produced slightly textured, non-uniform colour, of which this is a particularly fine example? --mikaul^talk 10:54, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Avala. I donate one free "O" to you. If you need more vowels, I sell them. Now you can support properly. Nezzadar [SPEAK] 01:17, 2 November 2009 (UTC) (I hope you know I am joking with you, not insulting you)[reply]
