This American war bond poster is unique and interesting for several reasons. It was created and distributed before the United States formally entered WWII, and its overall aesthetic is a bit of an outlier in typical designs of the era. It is clearly an homage to the WPA era advertising posters of Lester Beall in its use of simplified forms and photo montage. This design went on to win a design competition held by the Museum of Modern Art.

John Atherton (1900 – 1952) was an American graphic designer, painter and illustrator.
