Description

Powerful image invoking Pearl Harbor

Original color 28 x 40 World War II propaganda poster, OWI No. 15, with art done by Bernard Perlin, showing a sailor with his fist raised and an image of the carnage of Pearl Harbor, with “Avenge December 7th!” printed in the center. Printed in the lower border is “U.S. Government Printing Office: 1942-O-491978.” In fine condition, with a couple of small separations along storage folds, and a bit of slight foxing to borders. References to Pearl Harbor were a potent tool of persuasion, especially during the early part of World War II. RR Auction COA.
