    Hmm...not sure I understand the date. According to several sources, this poster wasn't released until 1942, and the BSA campaign didn't begin until 1942, as well. Besides, it doesn't make sense to have a US flag on a war poster until after December of 41 anyway, I'm thinking. Pretty sure the date is wrong on this one.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! For now, we’re gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.

    They're so handsome. :)

    1943. The top four flags, USA, GB, USSR and ROC, being positioned together corresponds with the meetings between Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and Chiang-Kai-Shek in 1943.

    I have to agree with lpress and mrpibb; I don't think the United States would be so firmly represented on a war poster in 1941. The phrase "UNITED NATIONS" perplexes me; the official United Nations wasn't formed until 1945, but this usage of the phrase seems to be more of an informal description of a confederation of nations with similar goals, not an official UN poster; if I'm wrong, then the photo would have to date from 1945, I would say.

    This is really great.

    It's interesting that they use the now somewhat archaic term 'Ruthenian' to refer to Ukrainian. The Chinese characters are (in my bad Romanization) 'Gung tzu ye su sing daan'. Also odd that they refer to 'christian hebrew' as a language.
  • Walter Parenteau said:
    I noticed Christian Hebrew also. Very interesting. I am impressed by the quality of the Chinese characters and I love that Esperanto is the main central language at the top of the page--as if lots of New Yorkers were speaking it!
  • Jim Flanagan said:
    "Christian Hebrew" probably because a simple "Hebrew" would most likely be taken as "Jewish Hebrew" which is incompatible for "Merry Christmas".....

    There is a small mistake in Czech greetings, the whole Polish text is wrong, too - there should be "wesolych swiat" (wesołych świąt) :)

    Newcastle is quickly losing its small privately owned specialist shops in favour of the bigger sites. A shame that because the diversity in the city was very special..
