About the Item
This poster design was commissioned by Abbott Labs , a medical products company that supplied the United States military forces in World War I and II . The text on the bottom of the poster reads "Published by Abbott Laboratories as a Contribution to the Treasury's Schools-At-War Program". This particular design emphasizes the sacrifices that servicemen's families make for the war effort and encourages those on the home front to show their support by buying war bonds. The design was created by Symeon Shimin (1902 - 1984) , a noted illustrator.
Symeon Shimin was born in Astrakhan, Russia, on the Caspian Sea, in 1902. His family immigrated to the United States ten years later, living in two small rooms behind their delicatessen. Already interested in drawing for a living, Shimin apprenticed himself to a commercial artist at age 16 to help support his family. He attended art classes at Cooper Union Art School at night. In 1929, after working as a freelance commercial artist and briefly studying in the studio of artist George Luks, Shimin spent a year and a half in France and Spain. He returned to New York and in 1938 was awarded a contract to paint a mural in the Department of Justice building in Washington. Shimin's work in children's books began in 1950 when friends Hermann and Nina Scheider asked him to illustrate a revised edition of their How Big is Big? Shimin subsequently illustrated more than 50 books for children, including two that he also authored. He died in 1984.

Original Vintage WWII The Sky's the Limit Poster by Courtney Allen 1944
Located in Boca Raton, FL
In America during WWII, every resource was poured into the war effort. With over 12 million Americans - 11% of the total population - serving in the armed forces, everything from food to labor was tight on the Home Front. This poster depicts those who weren't drafted - a young woman and two older men - hard at work on an airplane engine. The text encourages the viewer to pitch in however they can at home, from working in production plants to buying war bonds.
The artwork includes a logo for the 6th War Loan, which is of a bomb dropping over the flag of Japan. 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.

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...
