This vintage original WWII poster was created by artist Bernard Perlin and issued by the Office of War Information as OWI Poster No. 15 in 1942. Perlin’s visceral image of a muscular US Navy sailor raising his clinched fist over an exploding ship adds urgency to the poster’s stark and simple title Avenge December 7. This poster was issued shortly after the United States entered WWII while the attack on Pearl Harbor was still fresh on millions of American minds. This poster is unique in that it simply calls for revenge without explicitly promoting the sale of bonds or otherwise serving a specific wartime goal such as educating and motivating workers or the public.

This vintage original full one sheet size WWII poster is fully complete and well intact. The poster shows moderate handling wear including a couple short tears on the edges and a closed tear of a couple inches at the top center area with a small unaddressed chip off the poster at the intersection of the top center fold lines. The poster has no tape or pinholes and retains strong color. Overall condition is very good.
