JEAN CARLU (1900-1997) GIVE 'EM BOTH BARRELS. 1941. 30x39 3/4 inches, 76x101 cm. U.S. Government Printing Office, [Washington D.C.] Condition B+: repaired tears and restored losses at edges; minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. In 1939, while still in France, Carlu designed a poster promoting the "Anglo-French Day for the benefit of the combatants and their families," featuring two soldiers in profile, a theme which he clearly replicated here, but with far more effect and impact. "A visual analogy is found between a machine gun and a rivet-gun," (Word & Image p. 61) driving home the connection between home front workers and front-line soldiers. This is the larger of two formats. Carlu 50, Design for Victory p. 29, Word & Image p. 61, Modern American 46, IWM II p. 24, Modern Poster 195, Judd 4.7, Nelson p. 65.
