Description: 1991 Authentic Full-Color WWII Mini-Poster IllustrationYou knock 'em out—We'll knock 'em down (1942) Satisfaction GuaranteedThis is an authentic 1991 reproduction--NOT a recent reproduction This is an original 1991 print of a World War II-era poster depicting a pilot in uniform leaning out of a bomber sporting nose art in the shape of pin-up girl with angel halo and wings. The pilot's “thumbs up” gesture points to tally marks scrawled on the side of the plane. The text reads, “You knock 'em out—We'll knock 'em down: MORE PRODUCTION.” The original poster (designated War Production Board—A7) was designed in 1942 by John Falter, who served as an artist in the Navy during the conflict.” This illustration was published in a well-printed 1991 collection of popular WWII posters, collated and presented by Derek Nelson, acting as civilian editor for Naval Safety Center publications.In Nelson's words"An easily recognizable symbol is a poster's stock in trade, and this poster contains two symbols that would become even more famous as the war progressed--the leather jacket and aircraft nose art. [The artist] Falter was just thirty-one when the war started, although he had already done illustrations for commercial magazines. He served in the Navy during the war as a special artist, producing some 180 posters." Printed on medium-weight glossy paper, the overall sheet size is approximately 8.25" x 11", and the printed poster (shown in the scan below) is 6.5" x 9", with 1" margins all the way around to allow easy matting and framing. There is another image on the reverse of the print. The print is a fine example of 20th century chromolithography, with distinctive saturated solids. It appears to be an offset halftone process, based on the orientation of the matrix and rosette appearance under magnification. It is a very attractive work, and well-printed.These mini poster prints look very nice matted and framed, together or separately.
