World War II Propaganda Prints
Propaganda prints created by artists during World War II spouted various messages intended to rally citizens for a number of causes. The concept of recycle/reuse may be considered a recent trend, but this concept can often be noted in propaganda prints during this era. Citizens were often encouraged to ration their food and recycle items with raw materials such as rubber, aluminum, tin and steal that were used for war supplies. EPMA holds over seven-hundred propaganda prints from both WWI and WWII, which were given by Mrs. Rose Nordwald and the El Paso Public Library in 1975.
