    In realtà lei non è né Rosie né Geraldine. Lei è Obama truccato.

    Le locandine di propoaganda durante la guerra mi son sempre piaciute un sacco. Soprattutto queste che ricordano il ruolo fondamentale delle donne nel tenere in piedi l’industria statunitense, la grandiosa macchina che ha permesso di vincere la guerra.

    Di questo Miller si sa ben poco, tranne appunto che lavorò per la Westinghouse e realizzò alcuni manifesti di propaganda durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Sempre a proposito del ruolo della donna nella società americana ho un altro suo manifesto dove alle spalle della donna operaia degli anni bellici si staglia l’immagine della donna della Frontiera, intenta a caricare il fucile. Non l’ho pubblicato perché è in dimensioni un po’ troppo piccole. Oltre a questo famosissimo “We can do it!”, di Miller, per il momento, non posso pubblicare nient’altro.

    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about a series of pictures that we recently came across. There are 6 pictures all together all of different historical spots of Pitt. Three Rivers Stadium, Civic Arena, Fort Pitt Blockhouse, Old North Side Post Office, The Incline, And the Cathedral of Learning. We have all 6 and are still in perfect condition just found them in the back of a closet in an old house. If someone could e-mail me and let me know Id appriciate it angel_25_17@yahoo.com and my name is Sarah! Thank You!

    Hello,
    I’m trying to find out who owns the rights to J. Howard Miller’s work. Do you know if he had any relatives?
    I can’t find out much about him on the web.
    thanks.
