JOHN STEUART CURRY OUR GOOD EARTH . . . KEEP IT OURS. 1942.
59 5/8x40 1/8 inches. U. S. Government Printing Office.
Condition A-: minor tears and creases in margins and image.
With a determined look on his face, a farmer in blue overalls is standing with a fist of golden wheat as his lighthearted children rummage through the Kansas field; lettering in black, orange and white. Although this image was first commissioned for use on this poster, Curry was so pleased with it, that he went on to create an edition of prints.
