Original color 28 x 40 World War II poster from 1942, showing a woman working to assemble an AN-M26 parachute flare, with blue text on the left reading, “Women in the war,” and red and white lettering below, “We can’t win without them.” Printed in the bottom border is “Man Warpower Commission, Washington, D.C.,” and “U.S. Government Printing Office: 1942—O-477830.” Poster has been professionally linen-backed to a slightly larger size. In fine condition, with smoothed intersecting folds. A nice poster evocative of the ‘Rosie the Riveter’ idea that was so important to the domestic war effort. RR Auction COA.
