The man behind the gun

A barechested man wearing a leather apron leans on a hammer, marching soldiers, factories, and ships can be seen in the background. The painting, titled "Work for America!" is meant to capture the importance of labor during wartime, and accompanies a review of the poster by Eleanor Jewett.
