Print and Propaganda

The power of print has been used as a political tool from prints early beginning's. The ability to reach audiences and target the masses has been a perfect tool for various political reasons over the years. The first printed book Gutenberg's Bible below is a great example. 

During the first and second World Wars, print was used for Propaganda reasons too. Famously printed posters were used of striking images used by  The Soviet Union  see below,  the images where used as a way to rally the people.

During D Day thousands of fliers were dropped over France by allied forces as a call to arms for the french resistance. Fliers where also dropped over towns and villages to warn the residents to seek shelter from the pending air strikes.
