This poster from 1917 was commissioned by the Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC). The EFC was founded in 1917 by the United States Shipping Board (USSB), which was established while the United States was at peace to try to restore the nation's Merchant Marine. After the entry of the U.S. in WWI the function of the USSB changed radically, becoming a military agency that maintained the line of communication between America and Europe.

In this poster we see an image of two ships created by Adolph Treidler (1886-1981) with a big red lettering: The Ships Are Coming. This poster was intended for workers of the companies that made the ships for the EFC. The text encourages workers to work hard and long hours, since their work is needed to bring provisions, armament and news, as the poster suggests, to American soldiers fighting in Europe.
The artist of the poster, Adolph Treidler, studied painting and drawing at the Henri School of Art in New York City. He created various posters for different governmental organizations during WWI, focusing in Liberty Loans posters and manufacturing efforts, particularly of women working in munitions plants. Treidler also worked on posters during WWII, as well as designing for magazines and advertisement.

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.
