Tons of authentic World War II posters and war memorabilia. This vintage World War II poster, titled "WOOD at WAR," showcases the critical role of lumber in the American war effort. Published by the U.S. Army in 1943, the poster uses a collage of five sepia-toned photographs to illustrate the versatility and importance of wood across various theaters of war and on the home front. Each image is accompanied by a descriptive caption, creating a powerful narrative about this essential resource. The poster highlights wood's journey from raw material to finished product, serving military needs worldwide. Scenes depict natives in New Guinea carrying supplies in wooden cases, the use of American lumber to aid the wounded in Guadalcanal, and the construction of a wooden minesweeper at home. Further images show how wood crates for supplies in Iceland were repurposed into furniture for soldiers and how the wooden decks of transport ships provided a space for soldiers to exercise en route to Africa. The overall composition effectively communicates that every contribution, including the provision of a basic material like wood, is vital for achieving victory. Condition: Used.
