1991 Authentic Full-Color WWII Mini-Poster IllustrationDo with less—so they'll have enough! (1943) Satisfaction GuaranteedThis is an authentic 1991 reproduction--NOT a recent reproduction This is an original 1991 print of a World War II-era poster depicting smiling soldier in helmet and uniform, holding a metal mug. The text reads, “Do with less—so they'll have enough! RATIONING GIVES YOU YOUR FAIR SHARE.” The original poster was issued in 1943. This illustration was published in a well-printed 1991 collection of popular WWII posters, collated and presented by Derek Nelson, acting as civilian editor for Naval Safety Center publications.In Nelson's words"'The good American was told to do without to patch, mend, and save.' Many posters tied conservation of scarce products directly to patriotism. The OWI (Office of War Information) issued this pep talk for rationing in 1943. The soldier's expression puts him firmly in the 'war isn't so bad, after all' school of combat art." Printed on medium-weight glossy paper, the overall sheet size is approximately 8.25" x 11", and the printed poster (shown in the scan below) is 6 7/8" x 9", with 1" margins all the way around to allow easy matting and framing. There is text and additional images on the reverse of the print.The print is a fine example of 20th century chromolithography, with distinctive saturated solids. It appears to be an offset halftone process, based on the orientation of the matrix and rosette appearance under magnification. It is a very attractive work, and well-printed.These mini poster prints look very nice matted and framed, together or separately. Please check my store for other maps, posters, and natural history or historical art prints perfect for framing or incorporating into other projects. Below is a cropped view of the sheet--without full margins, and without the page number (40), which is printed below the poster. The scan below is a fairly accurate representation of the print.
