About the Item

This striking 1942 lithograph poster, printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office, captures a pivotal moment in American history. The poster depicts President Franklin D. Roosevelt seated, delivering one of his most critical wartime speeches. In this black-and-white image, Roosevelt is addressing the nation concerning the performance of wartime weapon production, emphasizing the need for unity and effort on the home front to secure victory in World War II. The image of Roosevelt is skillfully rendered in lithographic detail, conveying the seriousness and resolve of his leadership during this challenging period. The accompanying text, also produced in lithograph, is from a speech in which Roosevelt speaks of the United States' advancing position in the "battle of production." He concludes with the inspiring message: "I can say to you that we are getting ahead of our enemies in the battle of production." The poster is signed in the plate, further adding to its historical significance. Produced by the War Production Board as part of a national effort to rally citizens to contribute to the war effort, the poster is not only a call to action but also a testament to the vital role of industry and production in the Allied victory. For collectors of wartime memorabilia or those with an interest in World War II history, this poster is an extraordinary artifact. It serves as a reminder of the immense industrial efforts on the home front and the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt during one of the most defining moments in American history.
