"Chemical and biological weapons" propaganda poster - 1950s
- Simple chemical weapons were used sporadically in antiquity and throughout the industrial age. It was not until the 19th century that the modern concept of chemical warfare emerged, as various scientists and nations proposed a product of asphyxiating or poisonous gases. Today, they are all banned under the Geneva Convention. This poster reads:Citizens and learners! Study the devastating factors of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons! This will help you protect against them!The poster is most likely from the early 1950s. The poster is in good condition for its age, with preserved colors and lettering. It has been folded in half but could easily be framed so the folds don't show. The paper is thick and rough.
