What it is
A colour lithograph Adolph Treidler drew for the Publications Section of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation in Philadelphia, 1917, 72 by 56 cm.
Why it matters
The Emergency Fleet Corporation built the ships that carried the American army and its supplies to France, and its posters hung inside the yards. General John J. Pershing commanded the American Expeditionary Forces; the sheet ties each minute on the slipway to him.
What to notice
A shipyard worker bent to his task, set out in Treidler's blocks of flat colour, with the general's name in the headline above him.
A rivet counted as a minute of the war.
