America's involvement in WWII saw over twelve million citizens serve overseas - almost ten percent of the entire nation's population at the time. This meant everyone "at home" had loved ones far away, and keeping in touch with them was paramount. "V-Mail", short for "Victory Mail", was an innovative solution to get letters to soldiers expeditiously and efficiently. Letters were scanned in the USA, transformed into microfilm, transported via film to their detination, and then printed out and felivered to soldiers. This method cut down greatly on the amoutn of space communication took up in transport. The service was only used from June 1942 to November 1945, but over one billion items were processed through the method.

  • 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.
