The iconic windwills of The Netherlands lay in ruins behind a grave reading, "Answer Their Prayers" in this dramatic and effective poster created for American Relief for Holland. A young girl prays over her paltry meal of a piece of bread, as we are asked to contribute what we can to help her.

American Relief for Holland was formed by the Queen Wilhelmina and the Royal Dutch Family after they fled the Netherlands after Germany's surprise invasion in 1940. The Nazi Regime took both Holland and Belgium, then neutral countries, by ambush in their push to conquer France. They left death and destruction in their wake, and the following five years (any many after the War ended) were ones of hunger and desperation for the general population.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
