This one was based off an equally famous earlier design, also by Rose, published in 1877.
“Theatre of the European war” — Swiss map from the First World War (1915), designed by the artist André Huguenin, showing the countries of Europe variously as their leaders, national personifications, historical figures or, in a few cases, as animals.
“Henceforth I know no parties” — German postcard from the First World War showing Kaiser Wilhelm II greeting workers. The caption is a reference to Wilhelm’s famous proclamation at the start of the war: “Henceforth I know no parties; I know only Germans!”
“May 9 - Victory Day” — Bulgarian poster published in 1980 showing a hand holding a PPSh-41.
“9 May 1945” — Soviet Victory Day poster designed by Yevgeny Kazhdan and published in 1969, later reissued in 1983.
These postcards appear to be from the same series, possibly published in 1946. In this one, a man tears the Nazi flag while the Allied flags fly overhead and a rainbow arches over Prague in the background. The illustrations were apparently done by Czech artist Otto Ušák.
“Christ is risen!” — Russian Easter card from the First World War (ca. 1915) showing Tsar Nicholas II greeting and offering a red Easter egg to a soldier.
“In the friendship of three great nations lies the pledge of unbreakable peace!” — Soviet poster from the Second World War (1944) showing Soviet, British and American soldiers shaking hands against their respective flags.
