{"product_id":"soldiers-without-guns-treidler-ww2-1944","title":"Soldiers Without Guns 1944 | Treidler WW2 Poster","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree women stand together against an uncluttered cream ground, each wearing a factory ID badge: a welder with her helmet pushed back over a white head-wrap, a uniformed figure in cobalt blue and a red polka-dot headscarf, and a seated clerical worker in white looking directly out. The amber yellow title banner at the base sets bold sans-serif capitals against loose brush-script lettering. The contrast between the formal word and the informal one encodes the poster's argument in its typography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Adolph Treidler (1886–1981) and published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1944 as U.S. Army official poster I.S.D. No. 180. Treidler served as Chairman of the Pictorial Publicity Committee for the Society of Illustrators during WW2, coordinating the output of American commercial illustrators for the government war effort. He had already spent the First World War making posters for the United War Work Campaign depicting women in munitions plants, and this 1944 composition returns to that theme with greater formal confidence: three women rather than one, each representing a distinct tier of wartime civilian service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster sits in the same strand of WW2 home-front visual argument as J. Howard Miller's 1943 Westinghouse factory card, though Treidler's realist draughtsmanship and three-figure composition give it a different register. The work badges, the plaid, the cobalt uniform and the polka-dot headscarf are rendered with the precision of a magazine illustrator who understood that specific detail generates credibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA natural fit for collectors of WW2 home-front material, students of American illustration history, and anyone drawn to the mid-century realist tradition in poster design. Reproduced on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper using archival pigment inks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Poster Archives","offers":[{"title":"A4","offer_id":63809383399801,"sku":"VPA-13241-A4","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":63809383432569,"sku":"VPA-13241-A3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2","offer_id":63809383465337,"sku":"VPA-13241-A2","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70cm","offer_id":63809383498105,"sku":"VPA-13241-50x70cm","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1","offer_id":63809383530873,"sku":"VPA-13241-A1","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100cm","offer_id":63809383563641,"sku":"VPA-13241-70x100cm","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0","offer_id":63809383596409,"sku":"VPA-13241-A0","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/1139\/4937\/files\/Propaganda-Military-SoldiersWithoutGuns-USArmy-WomenWorkers-1944.jpg?v=1782033074","url":"https:\/\/vintageposterarchives.com\/products\/soldiers-without-guns-treidler-ww2-1944","provider":"Vintage Poster Archives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
