I’ve just completed digitizing my archive of WWII posters and maps, and I’m excited to offer a beautiful reproduction of one of these classic works.
This poster, featuring the call to action “Women Of Britain Come Into The Factories – Ask At Any Employment Exchange For Advice And Full Details,” highlights the crucial role of female empowerment during the war. Created by Philip Zec, a Jewish socialist, this poster mirrors early Soviet propaganda, portraying manual labor in a grand and heroic light.
Posters like this aimed to show a direct link between civilian workers at home and the fighting men on the front, symbolized here by the line of fighter planes exiting the factory. In 1941, the same year this poster was produced, the National Services Act mandated that unmarried women aged 20 to 30 enter war industries or serve in women’s auxiliary forces.
The originals have been maintained in excellent archival conditions since the 1940s, preserving the subtle ink colors and vintage feel despite antique folds, cracks, and spots on the paper. Unlike modern reprints with overly bright or incorrect colors, this reproduction captures the true essence of the era.
Each print is custom-made, and you can request customizations such as borders or margins. Please let me know of any additional requirements before placing your order!
