God Help Me If This Is A Dud is a clear message to the production war effort during World War II. This 1942 U.S.A propaganda poster by John Vickery warns the factory workers on the home front to be mindful of their work. Production was a major theme in WWII posters, which emphasized work safety, efficiency, and focus. This poster takes a more serious tone warning about the consequences of shoddy craftsmanship on the home front.

John Vickery (1906-1983) was an Australian artist who immigrated to the United States in 1936. As an artist, Vickery produced painting and illustration for both advertising and fine art. He is the only Australian artist to have been a part of the New York School.

What People Are Saying...

  • 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.
