Four American faces unite in Ralph Moses's 1943 wartime call to home front workers. Against a bold red, white and blue ground, portraits of military personnel and civilian workers embody the message that all Americans contribute to the war effort.
Designed by Ralph Moses for the National Safety Council in 1943, this poster addressed workplace safety during wartime production. The National Safety Council, founded in 1913 during the American Labor Movement, advocated for worker protection as industrial output reached wartime peaks.
The composition places four male portraits in vertical arrangement, each representing different aspects of American wartime service. The typography reads 'Americans All of Us' above and 'Save Manpower for Warpower' below, reinforcing the unity message through bold sans-serif letterforms.
This archival print depicts a moment when graphic design served national purpose, appealing to collectors of wartime propaganda and students of American home front history.
