Victory Girls. ca. 1918.
While occasionally lacking a solid definition, a Victory Girl was typically a young woman or teenager who patriotically offered her services during the war. By World War II, this term would come to be synonymous with a “good time girl;” however, here, it still maintains all the wholesomeness expected in a Penfield poster by simply showcasing a girl rowing her way toward (American) victory amidst the choppy waters.
Size: 22 1/4 x 28 1/8 in./56.5 x 71.4 cm
Condition: A.
Reference: Plakatkunst, p. 80; Theofiles, 195; Rawls, p. 24; PAI-LXX, 580
Key Words: War & Propaganda; American; Artist: Penfield
