To Have and To Hold - Blonde Girl

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.
