1959 History of Military Uniforms
DESCRIPTION
This densely illustrated poster presents a chronological march of military uniforms across time and cultures. From ancient warriors and Roman soldiers to Napoleonic guards and 20th-century officers, it’s an educational feast for those interested in military history, costume design, or cultural symbolism.
These richly illustrated "educational posters" were published around 1959 as part of a celebrated series of classroom wall charts designed to make learning visual, engaging, and accessible to students across America. Typically found in schools, mounted on classroom walls and used as teaching aids, each poster in the series explored a different theme, ranging from space exploration, means of transportation, military history, indigenous cultures, and the natural world. The images were rendered in a unique artistic style, often blending realism with imaginative detail to spark curiosity in young learners.
