Description
This original World War II propaganda poster features the work of Belgian artist Georges Schreiber. The art was commissioned by the U.S. War Finance Division in 1944 as part of the 5th War Loan campaign, aimed at raising funds to support the War Effort. When Schreiber moved to the United States in 1928, he stated, “I don’t want to be just an American with citizenship papers, I want to completely associate myself with America." Works such as this showcase his allegiance to the U.S. The poster depicts two sailors on a Navy ship, one operating a search light while the other searches with binoculars. The subject of the search is the U.S.S. Dorado, a Gato-class submarine that was sunk in a minefield off the coast of Cuba on her maiden voyage in 1943 on her way to the Panama Canal Zone. Poster measures: 28" x 20"
