The Special Collections Department at Georgetown University opened this show of posters on November 11th, 1999, to coincide with the 81st anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War I. The exhibition Website is simply designed, presenting the posters as one long list of captioned thumbnails that link to larger views. An introductory essay discusses the posters and the artists and printing firms that created them, and also includes titles of several standard books on World War I posters. Captions, in addition to providing artist name and publication information for each poster, include page number references to these books. The site also links to an earlier Georgetown exhibition of British World War I posters.
