Condition B+: restoration, repaired tears and overpainting along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired tears in margins.
A lithographic masterpiece portraying the survivors of a U-boat attack in their life boat struggling against the raging sea. That Brangwyn chose a monochromatic scheme and such a large format only intensifies the emotion expressed by the image, lending it an air of reality, desperation and grit. One of only two posters Brangwyn produced in America during the war. Rawls p. 80, Theofiles 50, Navy Posters 1.
