EXTRA BONDS. 1945.
28x20 inches, 71x51 cm.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and restoration at
edges; restoration along vertical and horizontal folds.
A “muscular and aggressive,” (Paret p. 196) and
therefore unusual image of Uncle Sam. Here, our
kindly Uncle has taken his jacket off, displaying
his star spangled vest and red striped pants, and
is rolling up his sleeve in preparation to fight.
Even in this powerful image, the threat is not one
of violence, but rather of increased American
production, as seen by the wrench in his hand.
Paret 277, Rhodes p. 173 (var).
