EDITORS COMMENTS
This WW2 poster features a discreetly hidden Royal Air Force (RAF) identity, created by Sgt. Norman Tiger Harrison of the Royal Corps of Signals in India during 1943. The color lithograph depicts an airman casually walking with his hands in his pockets, cleverly concealing the RAF emblem covering his face. The inscription below bears Harrison's tiger monogram, adding a personal touch to this intriguing piece. Harrison, a talented artist, produced a collection of watercolors, sketches, drawings, and cartoons during his service from 1940 to 1946. This particular poster is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness that emerged during the wartime era. The cartoon-style image carries a subtle yet powerful message, encouraging the importance of discretion and maintaining a low profile, especially for those serving in the RAF. The use of propaganda through art was a common tactic during the 1940s, and this poster serves as a fascinating reminder of the historical significance of such visual communication. As part of Harrison's extensive collection, this poster offers a unique glimpse into the experiences and perspectives of those serving in India during the 1940s. Its vibrant colors and intriguing design make it a valuable addition to any collection focusing on WW2, military history, or graphic art.
