This poster was printed and issued by the U.S. Treasury in 1943. The poster depicts a Russian woman in tears standing amid ruins. Its message is quite clear: during war time all must sacrifice, some more than others. The purpose of this image was to provide Americans on the home front with some perspective, and encourage them to invest in war bonds in an effort to support the war effort.
The artist, Roger Couillard (1910-1999), was a well-known Canadian poster artist recognized for his travel posters and ads for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
