JONAS LIE (1880-1940)
ON THE JOB FOR VICTORY. Circa 1918.
39x55 inches, 99x139¾ cm. W.F. Powers Co. Lith., New York. Condition B+ / A-: repaired tears at edges, some affecting image; minor restoration along vertical and horizontal folds and in margins and image.
With the Emergency Fleet Corporation rushing to put as many ships into the water as possible at the outset of the war, this image, with its impressive display of technology, must have struck pride in the hearts of the American working people. This is the larger of two formats.
