Description
This British Second World War poster was a generic poster produced by the Minsitry of Information to be distributed to different locations where Harold Gibson was speaking.
During the interbellum period, Harold Gibson was a commissioner for the League of Nations Intellectual Commission in Russia, and enjoyed the company of many intellectuals in Russia. With his strong knowledge of international relations, with particular regards to Russia, Gibson was a popular speaker.
During the Second World War, the Ministry of Information employed people such as Harold Gibson to give talks about other countries, cultures, and general war matters. This poster would have been distributed to the venues that she presented in ahead of time and they would have filled in the relevant details to advertise the talks. The poster also includes a short biography.
This item has been digitised with funding provided by Commonwealth Government.
