JONAS LIE (1880-1940) ON THE JOB FOR VICTORY. Circa 1918.

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 Coorporation 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, might must have struck pride in the hearts of American workingmen. This is the larger of two formats. Rawls pp. 186-187, Theofiles 270, Borkan p. 57, Paret fig. 115, p. 80.
