EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, published in the United States after the devastating Great Depression of 1929, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of savings and entrepreneurship. Created by an anonymous American School artist from the 20th century, it exudes both political and advertising undertones. The image features an old man with a determined expression, holding a long arm gun that symbolizes ambition and industry. The hourglass beside him represents time slipping away, urging viewers not to delay their actions. The bold text boldly declares, "Shoot! If you postpone you give others the opportunity to do so. Take the merit of action". In this allegorical depiction, hunting becomes a metaphor for economic survival during times of crisis. It encourages individuals to seize opportunities instead of allowing others to take advantage. The poster's vibrant colors and attention-grabbing design draw viewers' eyes towards its message: spare no effort in pursuing success amidst adversity. Its purpose was clear – instill hope and inspire Americans to rebuild their lives through hard work and determination. Today, this vintage print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of resilience during challenging times. It stands as a testament to America's ability to overcome hardships while promoting values such as thriftiness, innovation, and self-reliance. Giancarlo Costa's skillful execution captures the essence of this era while reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always room for growth and progress.
