Background on Creator
The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), now known as the U.S. Government Publishing Office, was established in 1861 to serve the printing needs of the federal government. During World War II, the GPO played a crucial role by producing a vast array of materials designed to inform, motivate, and unite the American public—including propaganda posters such as the war bond poster seen here.
The GPO was responsible for designing, printing, and distributing official documents, posters, and pamphlets for various governmental agencies. At the time, it was the largest printing plant in the world, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by skilled craftsmen. Its output encompassed everything from military manuals and ration books to motivational posters aimed at supporting the war effort.
