WWII 1945 War Manpower Poster Saalburg - An original 1945 World War II home front propaganda poster designed by American illustrator Allen Saalburg for the War Manpower Commission and printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office (marked ”1945-O-648346”). Depicting tattered, bullet-ridden Axis flags on a bamboo pole with the bold text ”GET THE JAP AND GET IT OVER! Work where you're needed - SEE YOUR U.S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE,” this poster was issued late in the war to boost domestic labor output for the Pacific Campaign. Visually, the piece retains strong ink saturation and clean graphics. Condition reflects standard factory folding creases as distributed, with mild toning along the fold intersections and paper margins, and light pinhole separation at the central fold intersection on the reverse, though remaining intact and untrimmed. Unfolded: H 27”, W 20”, D 0.1”. Folded: H 7”, W 10”, D 0.2”. Please see photos for condition.
