Americans all" is a 1942 color poster printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in Washington, and its subject is the tank, a weapon the country had to produce in enormous numbers once it entered the Second World War. Posters like this one were part of a wartime campaign to bring the home front into production and to present factory work as a share of the fighting. The Library of Congress catalogs it under the communications and industrial aspects of the war, which reflects how government messaging and manufacturing were closely linked in those years. The title itself makes the case that the war effort belonged to everyone.
