About the Item
This is one of the rare examples of American WWII posters that feature a person of color. WWII occurred in the midst of Jim Crow laws, so the fact that this poster features George Washington Carver, an example of Black Excellence is a statement by the artist, William Kautz. The push for purchasing victory bonds seems to fade into the brick wall, while the plaque displaying one of Carver's famous quotes takes center stage.
George Washington Carver (1864-1943) was a brilliant and innovative American scientist who focused on the agricultural industry. He is perhaps most well known today for his advocacy of the peanut, which he promoted as a crop to replace cotton with as it nourished poor farmers. Born a slave, Carver became a symbol of hope in Jim Crow America, and worked to build the foundation that the Civil Rights Era would grow upon after his death.

- Kina Lillet 1937 Original Vintage Wine Poster by RobysLocated in Boca Raton, FLThe artist of the poster, Robys, otherwise known as Robert Wolff, uses bright, contrasting colors and a dynamic composition to promote the exciting and celebratory Kina Lillet beverage. A beautiful woman, dressed in bountiful grapes and bright and festive colors enhance the allure of the liqueur. The image is so dynamic in both color and composition that it is still used in advertising to this day. Kina Lillet is an aperitif wine made from blends of Bordeaux wine, quinine and fruit liqueur, invented in 1887 by brothers Pierre and Raymond Lillet. Kina Lillet was white, which set it apart from other aperitifs at the time that were red. The Kina Lillet company launched in 1895 and was quickly nicknamed the “aperitif of Bordeaux.” In 1986, the company was under pressure to appease the international market and removed most of the quinine in Lillet. Today, the company is known as Lillet Blanc...Category
