JEAN CARLU (1900-1997)
AMERICA'S ANSWER! / PRODUCTION. 1942.

Designed and issued six months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. government reissued this poster on a larger scale the following year, when the war machine was heavily reliant on the mighty output from American factories. Here, power, technology and strength are combined in a modern, mechanical style.
