About the Item
This striking World War II recruitment poster, titled Nurses Are Needed Now!, urges registered nurses to join the Army Nurse Corps. The image, by American illustrator Steel Savage (1900–1970), features a poised young nurse in a crisp white uniform, light blue shirt, and navy cape lined in red, standing tall against a dramatic sky. Her confident upward gaze symbolizes courage, service, and patriotism, capturing the spirit of wartime mobilization.Steel Savage was a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic and highly idealized depictions of figures in posters, pulp magazines, and book covers. His work often carried a sense of heroic realism, making him a natural choice for military recruitment and propaganda campaigns during the 1940s. His ability to convey strength and nobility through posture and expression is on full display in this image, which uses clean lines, bold color contrasts, and an inspiring composition to motivate enlistment.Produced in the early 1940s, this poster was part of a nationwide effort to address the urgent shortage of nurses as the war intensified. It appealed to both professional pride and patriotic duty, calling on women to contribute their skills in military hospitals at home and abroad.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all our posters.
