The Story
Original Item. Only One Available. Guns, tanks, and bombs were the principal weapons of World War II, but there were other, more subtle forms of warfare as well. Words, posters, and films waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the American citizenry just as surely as military weapons engaged the enemy. Persuading the American public became a wartime industry, almost as important as the manufacturing of bullets and planes. The Government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign with clearly articulated goals and strategies to galvanize public support, and it recruited some of the nation's foremost intellectuals, artists, and filmmakers to wage the war on that front.
This is a lovely propaganda poster which we haven’t been able to find another example of, making this a very scarce example. The poster depicts an American production worker in a construction helmet and overalls, with ships being built in the background. It reads THE MINUTE MAN OF ‘42 IS THE WORKER. CARE - ACCURACY - SPEED. It is signed R. George.
The poster measures 16¾ x 24¾” and is in fantastic condition without any tears or staining, and the colors are very well-retained.
A fantastic example, ready for framing and display.
