They'll Let Us Know When to Quit

During World War II, the United States Government issued a number of posters encouraging domestic workers to aid the war effort by increasing their production. This bold and well executed image very effectively stresses how perseverance in the workplace leads to greater productivity. A worker gives the 'thumbs up' to his coworker as a battlefield rages on in the background. There is a strong correlation between the worker on the Home Front and the soldier 'over there'.

The artist of this poster is Lyman Anderson (1907-1993). He was a classically trained graphic artist who attended the Art Institute of Chicago. During World War II, he created a small group of posters for the United States Government. Aside from his war posters, he is known for his pulp book covers and comic art, as well as advertising posters.
