"Doing all you can, brother?"
Artist: Robert Smullyan Sloan (b.1915)
Original.

Almost mint condition.
This historic and haunting American war time poster is one of the most memorable and dramatic war posters ever created. It features a fair-haired US 2nd Lieutenant with his head bandaged and with some stains to his uniform, cast against a backdrop of a desolate battlefield, with armaments, a shattered tree, and barbed wire receding into the distance..
Robert S Sloan began his career in commercial art in 1940 including commissions for covers and illustrations for such publications as Time, Coronet, and Colliers. After he was drafted he did illustrative work for the military.
