Description
This British Second World War poster, with artwork attributed to Harold Foster, was issued by the British Admiralty to help promote the work of the Allied navies. The poster was likely made between 1943 and 1945 as parts of Italy were being taken by Allied forces. The poster depicts a British warship convoy traveling through rough seas. Above the main ship in the foreground, the overcast sky gives way to a contrasting white outline of a map of Italy. Through northern Italy is a red cross, with the text 'and the NAVY goes on', implying that once the navy had helped with the campaign against Italy, it will go on to its next task.
