Original Vintage Poster On The Job For Victory by Jonas Lie c1917 WWI
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
A busy shipyard chugs away efficiently in this WWI poster. It was commissioned by the Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC). The EFC was founded in 1917 by the United States Shipping Board (USSB), which was established while the United States was at peace to try to restore the nation's Merchant Marine ship supply. After the entry of the U.S. into WWI, the function of the USSB changed radically, becoming a military agency that maintained the line of communication between America and Europe. Jonas Lie (1880 -1940) was a Norwegian-born American painter and illustrator. He is most wellknown for his Expressionist style paintings of New York, but he also importantly documented the building of the Panama Canal. This experience likely helped inform his accurate depiction of this poster's busy shipyard. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Jonas Lie (1880-1940) oil on canvas board, signed lower right, measures 7.5 x 11.5 and 11 x 15 inches w/ frame. Artist became one of the best-known American landscape painters in his lifetime. (2) When he arrived in New York at the age of 13, he got an American education and art training. Although he took an active part in Norwegian-American activities, he was regarded as an American artist even though most American publications mention that he is Norwegian-born.

Like Ole Bull in the nineteenth century, he contributed to putting Norway on the map in America.

It is inscribed, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills."
