1945 WWII US War Manpower Poster - A dynamic, graphic-heavy original WWII propaganda poster, this powerful piece is a testament to the War Manpower Commission's efforts to mobilize the domestic workforce. Created by artist Amos Sewell, the illustration of a determined soldier advancing towards Tokyo was designed to underscore the urgency of ”work where you're needed”. The bold red and yellow color palette demands attention. This example shows expected wear for its age, including visible fold lines from its original distribution. It retains bright colors. The clear U.S. Government Printing Office 1945 bottom margin mark ensures its authenticity as a period artifact. Poster measures H 25.5”, W 18.5” unfolded, and W 9.25”, H 6.5” folded.
