To Have and To Hold - Blonde Girl
To Have and To Hold - Blonde Girl
(52cm x 70cm)
Sometimes the most pared down compositions have the most impact. That can be seen here, in this dramatic 1944 American WWII poster promoting the purchasing of war bonds. An American baby looks as us imploringly, as the biblical verse 'to have and to hold" reminds us of the vows the American people have made to contribute to the war effort.
This poster was printed by the U.S. Treasury Department and was likely created for the 6th War Loan campaign. The 6th War Loan began in November, 1944 with a goal of 16 billion dollars. The previous war bond drives raised in total 355 billion dollars, including 38 billion from individuals.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
