The Canadian Navy Paint Book

This wartime children's paint book uses naval imagery, including a sailor, a destroyer, and the Royal Canadian Navy's White Ensign.

During the Second World War, the widespread use of war-related images affected many aspects of home front life, including children's toys. In addition to being used for patriotic and fundraising purposes, such images also helped sell those consumer products that were still available, such as this paint book.
