Service on the Home Front - A Powerful Call to Action during World War II
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in American history when citizens were called upon to contribute their efforts towards civil defense during World War II. Created in 1943 by Louis Hirshman and William Tasker for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project, this silkscreen poster was commissioned by the Pennsylvania State Council of Defense. The image portrays a proud family standing before their home, symbolizing the heart of America's strength and resilience. The father holds a rake, ready to join his fellow citizens in salvage efforts, while the mother cradles her daughter with determination shining in her eyes. Smoke billows from chimneys nearby, reminding us that every action counts towards victory. The poster serves as an urgent recruitment tool, encouraging all Pennsylvanians to participate actively in civil defense initiatives. It highlights various elements essential for national security such as flashlights and typefaces representing communication systems. Additionally, it emphasizes community values like unity and cooperation through its depiction of allied citizens working together. Amidst the chaos of war, this artwork reminds us that even ordinary individuals can make extraordinary contributions on the home front. Whether it be tending victory gardens or volunteering for civil defense organizations, every act plays a crucial role in safeguarding our nation. As we gaze upon this evocative image today, let us remember those who selflessly served their country during World War II and honor their dedication to protecting our cherished way
