We Can Do It!

Do what?

Survive until the weekend ...

I'm trying to boost morale, not recruit more women workers (See below!!)

I rescued this from the recycling bin. Tess was having a clear out!

This is a painting (by Tess) of the American wartime propaganda poster produced by J. Howard Miller.

In 1942, Miller was hired to create a series of posters for the war effort. One of these posters became the famous 'We Can Do It!' Image. He based his poster on a wire service photograph taken of factory worker Geraldine Hoff (later Doyle), who was 17 and briefly working as a metal-stamping machine operator. The intent of the poster was to keep production up by boosting morale, not to recruit more women workers.
