Lot 98
Vintage World War II "Strength of the Lord" Office of War Information Poster. Original WWII poster, 40" x 28", OWI Poster No. 8, U.S.Government Printing Office:1942-O-48834. An impressively powerful and striking poster boasting stunning art by David Stone Martin (1913-1992), an influential American artist and a quote by then Vice-President Henry Wallace: " Strong in the strength of the Lord we who fight in the people's cause will never stop until that cause is won." The poster calls for every man and woman to endure the sacrifice and domestic adjustments to further the national agenda simply by illustrating the strength in three outstretched arms, two men's, one a soldier and the other a heavy construction worker, and quite tellingly, the third is that of woman's, very much in the vein of Rosie the Riveter. Folded as mailed. Some minor separations at the fold lines. Overall in very good condition.
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
