Never think that war
c. 1960–1970

A poster featuring a quote by Ernest Hemingway that reads, "Never think that war, no matter how necessary nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead." Below the quote is a blue-toned photographic image of a cemetery with numerous headstones and bare trees in the background, suggesting the somber aftermath of war.
