Original color 26 x 36.5 World War II propaganda poster, with art done by C. C. Beall, showing Joe Rosenthal’s iconic image of the flag raising on Iwo Jima, with “7th War Loan Now…All Together,” printed along the bottom. Printed in the lower border is “U.S. Government Printing Office: 1945-O-637980.” In fine condition, with expected storage folds. Concerned that bond sales might begin to dwindle after the defeat of Germany, officials commissioned illustrator Beall to create a poster for a 7th War Loan subscription that would boost bond sales by appealing to the patriotism of citizens. The poster did just that, as the campaign would help sales soar beyond expectations, bringing in over $150 billion. RR Auction COA.
