First edition. 'In 1946, Abram Games left the War Office armed with this testimonial: His work had to be subtly persuasive, or directly "propagandist" - but it was always effective, compelling, and of outstanding quality. During the Second World War, Captain Games, holder of the unique title of Official War Poster Artist, designed a hundred posters for army use. The Ministry of Information adapted several designs for civilians' (blurb for Naomi Games' Abram Games. His Wartime Work).
