Description

British Second World War poster depicting the flags of certain Allied nations. The flags are assembled in the shape of a 'V' for victory - a symbol made famous by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's finger gesture. This poster is perhaps a variant of ARTV02332, which also shows the Allied countries' flags assembled in a 'V' formation, albeit in a differing order.
