(U.S. Government Printing Office, 1942). Folded, Very Fine-. Poster (16.75" X 22") "We Can't All Go... But We Can All Help!". Presented here is a 1942 U.S. Treasury Department propaganda poster titled "We Can't All Go... But We Can All Help!", created to promote the purchase of war bonds during World War II. The emotional scene of a departing soldier saying goodbye to a crying child underscores the personal sacrifice behind the war effort and the shared responsibility of those on the home front. A powerful piece of wartime messaging, it urged Americans to invest at least 10% of their income in war bonds, directly linking financial support to national service. The design reflects the U.S. government's broader campaign to mobilize civilian resources in support of victory abroad. An unrestored poster that displays signs of use. May include edge and fold wear, toning, small tears, graphite writing on the verso, creasing, and unobtrusive smudging.
