Original Item. Only One Available. Guns, tanks, and bombs were the principal weapons of World War II, but there were other, more subtle forms of warfare as well. Words, posters, and films waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the American citizenry just as surely as military weapons engaged the enemy. Persuading the American public became a wartime industry, almost as important as the manufacturing of bullets and planes. The Government launched an aggressive propaganda campaign with clearly articulated goals and strategies to galvanize public support, and it recruited some of the nation's foremost intellectuals, artists, and filmmakers to wage the war on that front.

This is a lovely production propaganda poster which depicts a shipbuilder riveting the side of a ship, with the caption SELECTED FOR SERVICE. This poster was meant to highlight the importance of war production when compared with physically fighting in the war. 

The poster measures 20 x 26” and is in good overall condition with just some fold markings and basic tears along the edges.

Comes ready for further research and display.
