Over the years, NATO and its member countries have produced a wide range of colourful and informative posters. Each of the distinct collections below reveals a specific aspect of NATO's history, from the subtle differences between national military uniforms to security reminders at NATO Headquarters. Explore the poster collections to learn more about these different sides of NATO!
Paix et liberté
These posters were produced by the anti-communist non-governmental organisation “Paix et liberté” (Peace and liberty), whose European branch was based in San Remo, Italy, and headed by Jean-Paul David, a member of France's National Assembly. The posters show a variety of images and messages about the importance of European unity against the communist threat from the Soviet Union. The four posters were kindly donated to NATO in 2012 by Charles N. Spofford, son of the first United States Representative to NATO (1950-1952), Ambassador Charles M. Spofford.
The Marshall Plan or European Recovery Programme
This poster collection was donated to NATO by the Marshall Plan. It is part of a poster competition launched by the European Recovery Programme (ERP) in 1950. NATO has 17 of the 25 winning posters that were entered by artists from across Europe on the theme of cooperation and economic recovery. NATO used them in its bus tour of Europe in the 1950s.
Uniforms
These posters were produced by the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence (Army Department) and printed by Macmillan Ltd. Derby. The UK Army Education Centre wanted to familiarise the Forces of each NATO member country with the uniform and marking of rank of the other members.
How NATO works
These posters were created for educational reasons and many were reproduced in NATO publications. Their exact origin cannot always be traced. In one instance, a series was created by a national Atlantic Treaty Association, as were many of the posters in the early days of the Alliance.
Educational posters
These posters were developed as part of a broader effort to produce teaching materials for use in classrooms. They specifically aimed to raise awareness about NATO and its activities in member countries.
Anniversary posters
These posters were created to mark the anniversaries of the Alliance.
Events
A selection of posters covering events such as NATO tattoos or new initiatives with Central and Eastern European countries.
Security posters
Internal security has always been a NATO priority. Over the years, the posters, cards, and calendars below have adorned the walls and the desks inside the Headquarters, reminding NATO employees of the importance of discretion. These cultural artifacts are testimonials to the preoccupations of our times.
