War Bond Posters
Some of you already know that I collect War Bond posters from WWI. For the rest of you, here is a slideshow of my collection. You may notice that some of them look like they are bleeding from the bottom corners. This is because our apartment is so incredibly hot that the brown foam pads on the backs of the frames melted and dripped down the wall. Either that, or the walls really are bleeding. You decide.

V is for Victory
"Victory" is the letter V of my Abstract Nouns Alphabet. This particular V is from the WWI Victory Liberty Loan campaign. I included it as a tribute to my much cherished War Bond poster collection. This letter was especially fun for me, because I was able to match the font and colors to the original posters. (The text is dark indigo, and the background is ivory.)
