Description

Iconic, troubling World War II propaganda poster personifying the threat posed by Nazi Germany to the United States.

The poster shows three young children threatened by looming Nazism. The three children play with toys and a flag on a lawn dotted with small white flowers. A swastika looms over them, casting a shadow on the scene. One of the boys grips a toy plane, while another wears a paper hat and brandishes a flag on a makeshift pole. The girl sits and cradles a doll. Only the older boy seems to perceive the danger they all face.

This poster powerfully conveys the threat of Nazism to the future of America and reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought to protect its freedom and safety.

Lawrence Beall-Smith

Lawrence Beall-Smith (1909-1989), born in Washington, D.C. in 1909, was an artist who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago. He established himself as a painter and illustrator, and in the 1930s, became known for his lithographs distributed by the Associated American Artists. During World War II, he produced posters for the war effort, and was commissioned as a war correspondent to cover the activities of the Medical Corps in Europe. After the war, he continued to develop as an artist and founded the Katonah Gallery in New York.
