What it is
A poster Bernard Perlin made for the Office of War Information, held by the National Archives in its World War II Posters series as 44-PA-356 and dated there to about 1943 to 1945.
Why it matters
The Office of War Information ran from June 1942 to September 1945 as the link between the battlefront and civilians. Perlin moved from New Deal social realism through war art and illustration to magic realism.
What to notice
The word always, which claims the war as one in a line of American wars for the same cause.
One war, filed with all the others.
