The object of the war poster, now hung up everywhere, is to appeal to the people. There is no reason why the modern artist should not make a masterpiece of the poster as the old master did of the fresco. The finest of all these earlier posters announced the large international exhibitions held in Venice and in German towns. Towns turn over their walls to the poster, public officials, business men, private citizens lend their windows. The demand is practically unlimited, and that the supply meets it, as far as quantity is concerned, the shortest stroll through the streets will show.
