Original Vintage WWII The Sky's the Limit War Bonds Poster by Courtney Allen 1944
Est: $800 - $1,200
In America during WWII, every resource was poured into the war effort. With over 12 million Americans - 11% of the total population - serving in the armed forces, everything from food to labor was tight on the Home Front. This poster depicts those who weren't drafted - a young woman and two older men - hard at work on an airplane engine. The text encourages the viewer to pitch in however they can at home, from working in production plants to buying war bonds. The artwork includes a logo for the 6th War Loan, which is of a bomb dropping over the flag of Japan. The 6th War Loan began in November, 1944 with a goal of 16 billion dollars. The previous war bond drives raised in total 355 billion dollars, including 38 billion from individuals. Courtney Allen (1896- 1969) was an American illustrator known mostly for his work in books and magazines. He served on the front lines in the early years of the war, and returned home to continue his career. He depicted only a few war posters, but also created portraits of servicemen recovering from their injuries stateside. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster has been archivally backed onto linen and is in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

A version of this design was selected for the final cover for the book. CONDITION: Good, some foxing present on both. Courtney Allen was a noted book and magazine illustrator, who worked from his studio in New Rochelle, New York and also was an educator and painter. He trained at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC, and in Provincetown at the Cape Cod School with Charles Webster Hawthorne. Charlotte Paul (1916-1989) led a life marked by the pursuit of numerous careers -- news editor, wife, back-to-the-lander, freelance writer, mother, novelist, memoirist, parole board official -- and usually several of these at once. In the 1950s, she and her husband ran a small weekly newspaper in Washington state's remote Snoqualmie Valley, where she collected from old-timers the tales of the valley's pioneers. These tales she wove into two of her bestselling novels, "Gold Mountain" and "The Cup of Strength," later renamed "Wild Valley."
