Description

World War II

Collection of four original color World War II posters from 1943 (one undated), ranging in size from 11 x 17 to 21.25 x 27.5. The first shows a worker rolling up his sleeve between pictures of America and his home, with the reminder, “These are why you strive to work safely”; the second features two newspaper headlines that encourage citizens to forward their ideas to the Army Ordnance war effort; the third lists seven simple tips on how Americans can decrease energy usage and reads, “Fuel Fight! Save your share”; and the fourth features comforting scenes of everyday American life, with “For Home and Country,” at the top, and “Invest in War Bonds to provide Future Health and Happiness,” below the images. In overall fine to very good condition, with expected storage folds and toning, and edge separations, toned tape remnants to top edge, and scattered streaks of discoloration to the “For Home and Country.”
