Produce for Victory! God bless daddy and all the American workers, 1942 US poster: Colour photographic portrait of a girl

Produce for Victory! God bless daddy and all the American workers

Colour photographic portrait of a girl with braids and ribbons, looking upward, above a child's bedtime prayer that blesses her father and the American workers 'who are doing so much to protect freedom'. 'Produce for Victory!' closes the sheet. A child's voice is the testimonial, and the prayer lends it feeling.
