John Langson
Description
This British Second World War poster was a generic poster produced by the Ministry of Information to be distributed to different locations where John Langston was speaking.
John Langston was a professional public speaker, with a particular expertise on the Gestapo.
During the Second World War, the Ministry of Information employed people such as Langston to give talks about other countries, cultures, and general war matters. Langston would speak specifically on the perceived German plans. This poster would have been distributed to the venues that she presented in ahead of time and they would have filled in the relevant details to advertise the talks. The poster also includes a short biography.
