OUR COLOSSUS OF ROADS TO VICTORY. 1918. Water Color and gouache maquette.
35 1/4x25 1/4 inches. Condition B-: tears and cracks in image; streaking in image; faded. Printed on card. A powerful, dungaree-clad worker with the torch of Liberty in one hand and a sword in the other is straddling a waterway from which ships are emerging, against a yellow and orange background. Never turned into an actual poster, this image was an entry in a competition sponsored by the "U.S. Shipping Board Poster Competition". A label from this competition is affixed on the verso.
