What it is
A poster Allen Saalburg made for the Office of War Information, OWI Poster No. 13, held by the National Archives in its World War II Posters series as 44-PA-178, dated between 1941 and 1945.
Why it matters
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, and the Office of War Information, founded in June 1942, put its number on this sheet. Saalburg was a painter, illustrator and screen printer who studied at the Art Students League.
What to notice
The imprint, OWI Poster No. 13, and a title of three words that needs no year.
Memory, asked for while the wound was new.
