Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 30" x 40 1/2" [76 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) Production. America's Answer!, the 1941 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster encouraging workers to help the war efforts by increasing productivity, and featuring Jean Carlu art of a gloved hand tightening a bolt with a wrench. Note that in the 1930s during the height of the French Art Deco movement, there were 3 designers that really stood out, Cassandre, Paul Colin and Jean Carlu. During the early part of the second World War, Carlu came to America to visit his brother. During that visit, Germany invaded France and captured Paris. Anxious to contribute to the war effort that now included his home country, he did 2 poster designs for the U.S. war department. The first was called "Production. America's Answer!". While at first it was simply a rallying point for American Labor in the summer of 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor it became the call of the American War effort along with his second poster, "Give em Both Barrels" in which the message surely speaks for itself. Both posters are part of the collections of The Museum of Modern Art and The American War Museum. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of the folds and tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Some of the folds were not completely touched up, but it would be simple for any restorer to do the remaining touch up without re-backing the poster, and afterwards, it will grade as "very good" condition.
