Selling in Wartime:

July 2 – September 28, 2007
John Hay Library
Wars are good for business and many companies employed military and war themes to promote their products, appealing to the patriotic and nationalistic sentimentalities of the public. Advertisements from the British weekly illustrated newspaper, The Sphere are examined in light of various themes.
The exhibit runs until August 28. The exhibit is curated by Peter Harrington. See the accompanying online exhibit.
The John Hay Library is located at 20 Prospect St., Providence, RI. Library hours are Monday-Friday, 9-5. For more information contact Peter Harrington.
