Warning! 1917.
Est: $5,000 - $6,000
ARTIST: L. N. BRITTON (1858-1934) SIZE: 28 1/8 x 40 5/8 in./71.5 x 103.4 cm PRINTER: Latham, Long Island City, New York DESCRIPTION: With the mastery of new technologies centering in Europe during the war, American aviation was not well-equipped to produce the enormous number of fighter planes the French were seeking. This made the production of each plane crucial, and vigilance in the workplace was vital. Britton's depiction of the consequences is graphically powerful—and extremely rare. This is one of only five known copies. (War & Propaganda; American)
