SCHLAIJKER "...AND BLESS THOSE BACK HOME..." 1943. 28x20 inches. Recruiting Publicity Bureau, United States Army. Condition B+: sharp vertical and horizontal folds; staining at edges. Paper. In cool shades of blue, a captain is standing on the deck of his ship, while troops are boarding below him. A "convoy" security poster extolling the American public to keep silent with their knowledge of troop movements; lettering in blue. An "unusual image for Schlaijker who typically favors herocially scaled figures. What the design lacks in monumentality it makes up for in the subtle dusk coloration that sets a mysterious, pensive mood." (Meehan cat. 22 #316).
