VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image shows a black and white vintage poster with the heading "BUILD THE BROKEN WALLS" in bold, capital letters at the top. Below this title is an illustration of a cityscape featuring buildings and what appears to be a large domed structure resembling a capitol or government building. The text on the poster reads as follows: "The walls of our cities the walls of our homes our industry our prosperity our security the walls of our hopes— let us build with energy with enthusiasm with confidence— but never forgetting that peace has begun. In the Far East our boys still fight. They need munitions Ships, Food—AND our continuing support. Let us give these . . . And while they destroy the last enemy, we at home build again the broken walls, restore industry create jobs tear down the black-out turn up the lights Work and SAVE— to prepare for their homecoming. " At the bottom, there's another bold statement saying "KEEP ON SAVING we've great things to do, " indicating that this poster was likely created during wartime to encourage citizens on the home front to continue supporting war efforts through saving resources and rebuilding infrastructure. The phrase "In the Far East our boys still fight" suggests it may have been produced during World War II when fighting was ongoing in Asia. Lastly, there's small print at very bottom which states: "Issued by National Savings Committee, " identifying who released or sponsored this message.
