"Doing All You Can, Brother?" WWII War Bonds Poster by Robert Smullyan Sloan (1943)
This poster features a wounded soldier against a bleak background. The message reads "Doing All You Can, Brother? Buy War Bonds" in bold letters. The poster's intention is to encourage Americans to support the war effort by purchasing war bonds, which would help fund the war and ensure that American troops had the necessary resources to fight and win.
The poster's use of a direct and confrontational message is meant to appeal to people's sense of duty and responsibility to their country. And perhaps compare the soldier's sacrifice to those at home. The soldier's direct gaze is a powerful visual cue that help to reinforce the urgency and importance of the message.
