A farmer invests in his future by buying war bonds in this dynamic and effective WWII poster that was created by the U.S. Treasury. With bonds in hand, he also carries the hopes of his future: his children graduating, a new tractor, a modern car, and a succesfull farm. In America during WWII, every resource was poured into the war effort. With over 12 million Americans - 11% of the total population - serving in the armed forces, everything from food to labor was tight on the Home Front. War Bonds were another popular way for the Home Front to contribute to the War Over There. A staggering 80 million Americans purchased war bonds during WWII. Amos Sewell (1901-1983) began his working life as a banker who took illustration classes at night. He went on to become one of the Saturday Evening Post's most popular illustrators, alongside Norman Rockwell. Sewell created many posters for the War Effort, and this is considered one of his strongest images from that era. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
