FRANK BRANGWYN HELP YOUR COUNTRY STOP THIS / ENLIST IN THE NAVY.
62x78 1/2 inches. (157 x 199 cm.)
Condition B+: replaced top and bottom right corners, affecting text; restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; restoration and discoloration in right margin. Two sheets.
A masterfully designed and printed lithograph portraying the survivors of a U-boat attack in their life boat struggling against the raging sea. That Brangwyn chose a monochromatic scheme and such a large format only intensifies the emotion expressed by the image, lending it an air of reality, desperation and grit. One of only two posters Brangwyn produced in America during the war. Rawls p. 80, Theofiles 50, Navy Posters 1.
