In 1946, Abram Games left the War Office armed with this
testimonial: 'His work had to be subtly persuasive, or directly
"propagandist" - but it was always effective, compelling, and of
outstanding quality.' During the Second World War, Captain Games,
holder of the unique title of 'Official War Poster Artist',
designed a hundred posters for army use. The Ministry of
Information adapted several designs for civilians. There is a tale
to tell about many of these images, especially about his infamous
but most successful ATS Blonde Bombshell recruiting poster. Being
the son of a photographer, Games employed many ingenious
photographic tricks to convey his message of 'Maximum Meaning,
Minimum Means' in his designs. Most books on Graphic Design have
included images by Abram Games. This is the only book published
that concentrates solely on Games's war work. The Estate of Abram
Games holds his large archive, which includes a memo from
Churchill, personal correspondence, press cuttings, sketches,
paintings, and maps for the Army Bureau of Current Affairs, and
photographs from Games's seven years in army service.
