"Back your cheers with your money" buy peace bonds
Description
Australian poster issued at the end of the First World War to promote the sale of Peace Bonds. Depicts a group of flag waving civilians in the foreground farewelling a naval ship. An Australian naval flag flies from the stern above a group of sailors. A small group of spectators has mounted a large flagpole from which the Union Jack is flying. The title occupies the top section of the poster and is printed in yellow ink on a black background. The remainder of the text - "Buy peace bonds" - is printed in white letters on a black background, and occupies the lower section of the poster. The image is in full colour and is positioned in the centre.
