Israel Flag Pillows
Description: “All 17-25 Year Olds - Serve the Nation.” (Hebrew.) A 1949 Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recruitment poster encouraging young people to volunteer for national service following Israel’s independence in 1948. Published by the IDF, artist unknown, public domain, via PPPA. This poster is part of the mass recruitment effort around Israel’s declaration of independence and the 1948-1949 War of Independence, when the newly formed authorities called on youth to register and volunteer. Using a variety of graphic design tools, I created a restored and enlarged reproduction of this historical Israeli poster, based on a rare photo of the original poster in an archive.
