About the Item
Children were a large part of the homefront effort in America during WWII. Over 18 million schoolchildren volunteered with the American Junior Red Cross during the War, and this poster shows a sampling of them collecting items to donate to programs overseas. Games, clothing, blankets, even a lamp are being offered here to help rebuild the lives of the many refugees in liberated parts of Europe.
Al Parker (1906-1985) was an American artist most well known for his literary and commercial magazine cover designs. His style embraced modern glamor and he was an integral part of important artists communities in New Rochelle, NY and Westport, CT. His most famous work was the 'Mother, Daughter' series of covers for Ladies' Home Journal, which ran from 1939 through the early 1950s.

Original 1943 World War II poster, designed by Sloan Roberts
Located in PARIS, FR
This original 1943 World War II poster, designed by Sloan Roberts, was part of the U.S. government’s War Bonds campaign, encouraging American citizens to financially support the war effort. During WWII, War Bonds were a crucial means of raising funds for military operations, and posters like this played a significant role in mobilizing patriotic sentiment across the nation.
Roberts’ artwork for this poster is a striking example of wartime propaganda, using bold imagery and compelling text to inspire action. The composition typically features heroic figures—soldiers, civilians, or symbolic American icons—set against a powerful backdrop, reinforcing themes of duty, sacrifice, and national unity. The typography is strong and direct, emphasizing the message: "Buy War Bonds", a rallying cry repeated across numerous government-issued posters during the war.
As a wartime artist, Sloan Roberts was known for his ability to evoke emotion and urgency through dynamic compositions and dramatic lighting. His work exemplifies the graphic design style of the era, which combined realistic illustration with bold, patriotic color schemes—often featuring reds, whites, and blues to reinforce national pride.
These original 1943 posters were distributed widely across public spaces, factories, schools, and military recruitment centers, serving as a visual reminder of the home front’s responsibility in the war effort. Today, Sloan Roberts’ War Bonds poster is a highly collectible piece of WWII history, valued for its artistic, historical, and patriotic significance.
This poster remains an iconic representation of American resilience and unity, making it a prized addition for collectors of vintage military propaganda, WWII memorabilia...
