<p>During the month of November, WWI Poster Art is on loan from the <a href="http://ahec.armywarcollege.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center</a> in Carlisle, PA. These posters were commissioned by the Committee on Public Information&rsquo;s Division of Pictorial Publicity. This committee was created by President Woodrow Wilson in 1917.&nbsp; Posters were designed in part to encourage support for the war, promote patriotism, and encourage sacrifice among citizens. The popularity of the posters allowed for the successful dissemination of their respective messages.&nbsp;</p>
