'HAVING SEEN THE QUALITY OF THE WORK AND OF THE WORKERS ON OUR PRODUCTION LINES ... [caption text]

Washington, DC: US Government Printing Office / Office of War Information Poster No. 13, 1942. Folio photolithographed broadside (40 x 28"; 102 x 72 cm). Folded, as issued. Very slight tanning at the folds on the blank verso, but a very near fine, bright, unused example. A powerful WWII homefront poster, promoting the achievement of war production. The poster incorporates a photograph of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in an automobile at an inspection site looking at a performance report with military officers. The text below the image states, in part: "Having seen the quality of the work and of the workers ... and coupling these first-hand observations with the reports of actual performance of our weapons on the fighting fronts -- I can say... that we are getting ahead of our enemies in the battle of production. Franklin D Roosevelt " (printed signature in script). (Inventory #: WRCLIT70812)
