There is something about a great poster, well several things really that occasionally elevate "just a poster" to something approaching really great art! We love the long history that posters have in popular and populist culture, both above ground and below ground. We have collected a series of Propaganda posters, most from the 20th century.
This piece features the famous We Can Do It WWII poster which Westinghouse closely associated with Rosie the Riveter, although not a depiction of the cultural icon itself. This iconic feminist image appeared on magazines, newspapers and posters, and helped increase women’s earning power and acceptance into male-dominated trades. The image has been hand-colored, restored and I have added effects to emphasize the strength of her pose.
