This information supplemented information in the PhD thesis database, providing the history of the Second World War poster designers. It was expected that this information would be used in conjunction with the database, where the work of a particular designer can be extracted (filtered), although some artists are included within this list who have not been definitively attached to posters within the database. With information indicating that these artists were involved in graphic design over the period of the Second World War, and as so many posters are anonymous, these artists histories are included.

There is little biographical information available on some artists, whilst some is available on the following artists – some only one line, others are more substantial:

Important Note: This information has taken many hours to collate, so please credit this website should you use any of the information.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE I AM ADDING THESE TO THE BLOG, THOSE THAT ARE IN BOLD ARE CROSS-REFERENCED.
