Original Item: Only One Available. This is probably one of the most iconic posters during WWII. To promote patriotism during World War II, the Office of War Information, a federal agency, commissioned artists to create propaganda posters. This one associates soldiers of 1943 with troops of the Continental Army that endured the harsh winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge during the Revolutionary War. Printed in 1943 with artwork by Bernard Perlin, this 40” x 28” poster is in fair condition with heavy folding and some rips & tears along the edges. All four corners have also been cut off, and there are some tape repairs.

Americans will always fight for liberty is the title of a poster frequently displayed throughout the United States during World War II. The poster depicts three American soldiers from 1943 marching in front of members of the Continental Army from 1778.

The poster was created in 1943, near the height of the advance of the Axis Powers into Europe, Asia and Africa. The poster was produced by the United States Office of War Information to foster patriotism and support for the war effort by depicting American soldiers as freedom fighters. The poster equates the motivations of soldiers of the U.S. Army in World War II to Continental soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, drawing a connection between the soldiers from the Revolutionary War and the soldiers engaged in combat against the Axis powers.

The poster was displayed throughout the United States in public areas such as schools, libraries, post offices and factories. It helped to instill patriotism during the Second World War and has been called one of the most recognized and enduring posters produced during the World War II era. The poster underlining the word "always" also attempts to demonstrate that the United States is committed to continue fighting against the Axis Powers, as it did the British in the U.S. Revolutionary War.

This lovely poster comes ready to be professionally framed and displayed proudly!

When Britain and France went to war with Germany in 1939, Americans were divided over whether to join the war effort. It wouldn't be until the surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 that the United States would be thrust into World War II. Once U.S. troops were sent to the front lines, hundreds of artists were put to work to create posters that would rally support on the home front.

Citizens were invited to purchase war bonds and take on factory jobs to support production needs for the military. As men were sent to battlefields, women were asked to branch out and take on jobs as riveters, welders and electricians.

To preserve resources for the war effort, posters championed carpooling to save on gas, warned against wasting food and urged people to collect scrap metal to recycle into military materials. In the spring of 1942, rationing programs were implemented that set limits on everyday purchases.

While many posters touted positive patriotic messages, some tapped fear to rally support for the Allied side and caution against leaking information to spies. "Loose lips sink ships" became a famous saying. Meanwhile, graphic images depicted a blood-thirsty AH and imagery of Japanese people with sinister, exaggerated features.

Today, the posters offer a glimpse into the nation's climate during World War II and how propaganda was used to link the home front to the front lines.
