Description

World War II

Collection of four original color World War II posters from 1943-1945, ranging in size from 18.5 x 26 to 28.5 x 40. The first shows the hand of Uncle Sam offering bonds to a man in overalls and reads,“Dig Down Deep! Buy twice as many Bonds in the Mighty 7th War Bond Loan”; the second shows a dead sailor washed up on a beach, and reads, “A careless word…a needless loss”; the third shows a matronly woman in front of a blue-star flag, urging citizens to cut back on needless travel; and the fourth shows two sailors on the bridge of a submarine, with “Fire Away!,” printed at the top and, “In memory U.S.S. Dorado,” printed in the upper left. In overall fine condition, with expected storage folds (with a few small separations) and some old tape toning to edges of the “Fire Away!” poster.
