Your Enemy The Jap, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Despite our air victories, the Japs are producing planes faster than we can destroy them. The quality of their planes is improving!"; "Japan still has a powerful fleet - 10 to 13 big battleships, 10 or more large aircraft carriers, many small carriers, hundreds of other warships."; "The Jap is a fanatical fighter. His motto is 'Win or die'. There are 4,000,000 of him under arms, with 2,000,000 more ready if needed. We have not yet met the main body of this huge tough army!"; "Before the war, the average Jap ate a pound of rice a day. Today his ration gives him only 11 1/2 ounces. Nevertheless Jap workers are producing more than ever before. Japan's war production strength is out of all proportion to her industrial strength!"; "5 million Jap workers are totally mobilized for war. Men, women and children work from 12 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to these, Japan controls 400,000,000 enslaved people.") used to encourage workers in the U.S. to increase their productivity, and featuring Hotchkiss art of a Japanese soldier, workers, airplanes and ships, with all of the above commentary written out around the pictures, making the poster look like a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" cartoon! Note that when the United States was deep into World War II, racist epithets and slurs were used against the Japanese, and they were prominently put on posters of that time like this one, and we certainly hope never to see that again!
Artist: Hotchkiss
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this war poster!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes in the corners and paper loss in each corner, caused by rough removal of the pins, extending into the edge of the image in three corners. In the top right corner, where it was blank, there was diagonal paper loss in that entire corner, affecting the line border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
