Vintage British War Poster
This was the perfect motto for me on the day I spent shopping for the perfect printer/scanner and still didn’t have one!! But I tried to keep calm in the meantime. Anyway, I hope you like this archived graphic from an old English war poster. I think it was originally a different color and I made it black! It is great fun for so many projects – tote bags, pillows, collage jewelry, etc.

Here is a fun Graphic! This is a Victorian scrap showing a cute Boy waving a British Flag on a short stick! Dressed in red, white, and blue, he matches colors of the flag. His tousled, curly hair hangs over the ears. A square end tie hangs from his red and white striped long sleeved shirt. He is wearing medium blue trousers over black shoes and socks. This young man seems to be proud to be British; the image is truly patriotic, don’t you think?
Pictured above is another cute and proud British Flag Boy. Perhaps they are patriot brothers! This young man is holding a Flag on a Blue background, which I believe is for the Royal Navy. He is dressed in a purple suit with short jacket and breeches. It looks like it might be velvet to me. An aqua cumberband circles his waist over a white long sleeved shirt. He is wearing black stockings and black shoes that appear to be spats. His curly hair features a long fringe above the eyes. There is a sweet expression on his face. Cute!
Above we have a beautiful Graphic featuring the British Flag! Shown here is a spiffy little lady holding the Union Jack Flag. She is all decked out in a fancy uniform that features a bright red jacket with bars and stripes. Her skirt, perhaps made of lace, is white with a large ruffled hemline. She has a cap on her Gibson Girl styled brunette hair that hangs over one shoulder. A sword hangs from a white band around her upper body and she holds a horn with a long red tassel. Her fashion statement is rounded out with white stockings, white pumps, and long white gloves. She looks really regal. There is a magnificent crest or coat of arms with “Great Britain” in the lower left corner of the card with a lovely olive green background. I believe the flag is for the British Merchant Navy. I hope you like her!
Union Jack Flag Images
Above is a nice old British Flag or ‘Union Flag’ image! This one comes from an old War Poster. It’s taken on quite a yellowish tone over the years, which personally I really like, but I prefer to give options when possible so I’ve included a cleaned up, brighter version as well. This image is popping up everywhere in Home Decor right now; it’s such a great look! I think I may just make a pillow or two out of this one!

This amazing London Typography is from a 1730’s Document! So beautiful! I love all the beautiful Swirl and Scroll Flourishes surrounding the letters on this piece. I think this would look great on a Wooden Tray.

This is just lovely – and it is the red ensign flag of the British Merchant Navy. Many of my ancestors served in the Merchant Navy. Thank you so much!

Very pretty and thank you. I adore this one. However, I believe it is for the Merchant Navy according to flag. (Red ensign for the merchant navy)
