Poster Art: Swedish Posters

There is a poster collection at The Royal Library (National Library of Sweden) in Stockholm. Unfortunately only a smaller part of it is available digitally. Luckily, though, there are some good ones to see and a large portion of the site is in English. There's also other interesting stuff on the site, like swedish ephemera. I haven't checked it all out but this handbook in black magic was pretty funny.

These are the poster links you shouldn't miss:

"Artistic posters" In Swedish. A lot of beer ads (!)

"The Big Brewery's Beer is the best" Caleb Althin

Posters by artist Wilhelm Kåge In English
(Ceramics by Kåge here)

"Midnight Cabaret, at Berns" Wilhelm Kåge

Posters concerning referendums In Swedish

"No! Crawfish crave these beverages! You will have to refrain from crawfish if you do not vote NO on the 27th of August" Albert Engström (referendum on wether or not to limit sales of alcohol by quotas. We love crawfish by the way. And they do crave certain beverages.) A classic!

Charlie and His Orchestra

"In the 1930's the Nazis had a love/hate relationship with swing music. They outlawed it on their homefront, throwing it into the category of "degenerate" art. But at the same time, they employed it in the service of the fatherland. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, assembled a fairly competent swing band called Charlie and His Orchestra to perform Nazified versions of the jazz hits of the day. Led by an English speaking German, Karl Schwendler, Charlie and His Orchestra broadcast on the medium-wave and short-wave bands throughout the 1930s to Canada, the US and Britain. The idea was to lure the masses in with the irrestible tonic of swing music and then slyly work in the anti-Jewish, American and British lyrics after the second or third verse. "
