Sorry if against the rules or not appropriate for this sub. I was at a museum and stumbled across these old relief posters and thought y’all might enjoy seeing them. There were at least 20 more, with one for each country in Europe at the time.
Thanks for posting these … hadn’t seen any of them
Last one in Greek says χαίρετε νικώμεν: “Rejoice, we are victorious” which were the famous last words of the runner Pheidippides/Philippides after he brought news of the Greek victory over the Persians at the battle of Marathon to the people of Athens.
