I love this poster, which was originally printed–though not really used–in Britain as a morale booster during WWII.  (Here is the story of the poster.)  Since its rediscovery many years after the end of the war, facsimiles of the poster have been selling like hotcakes, and if you browse design websites, which I do, you’ll see them everywhere, in all sorts of great colors:

But here’s an artist selling posters on Etsy that are inspired by the simple graphics and gorgeous text on these original posters.
