War Posters Exhibited in Union

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An unusual collection of English war posters has been placed in the art cases in the periodical room of the Union. They are the work of Frank Brangwyn, one of the most celebrated of modern English artists, and are considered abroad as the finest art posters brought out by the war. "If the war has done nothing else," declares one Paris newspaper, "it has revealed in the English Brangwyn a new Rembrandt."

Some of the posters now on exhibition are: "Zeppelin Raids," "At Neuve Chapelle," "Ypres Tower," "Submarine Menace," "Mars Appeals to Vulcan," and "The Remaking of Belgium."

These posters will remain on exhibition for a week, and after that a series of recruiting posters giving an excellent idea of English opinion on the war will be shown.

These posters are exhibited through the courtesy of W. R. Castle, Jr. '00.
