This original WWII poster, "Freedom of Speech," is from Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms series based on the famous 1941 speech by President Franklin Roosevelt. The four freedoms were: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
The painting, originally appearing in The Saturday Evening Post and painted by famed American illustrator, Norman Rockwell, show a man dressed in a leather jacket with a document in his pocket, surrounded by men in suits, standing and speaking at a town hall meeting.
This poster was designed for distribution by the Office of War Information (OWI Poster No. 44) and printed by the U.S. Government Printing office in 1943. The Four Freedoms posters were printed in three sizes: 20" x 28", 28" x 40", and 40" x 56". This poster is loosely framed but still retains the original fold lines, as issued.
World War II-era war bond posters were intended to generate patriotic and monetary support for military operations and spending by issuing debt for the public to purchase. The public may buy these bonds out of a feeling of patriotic duty, or other emotional appeals. Although war bonds do not typically pay interest, they are sold at a discount that matures to face value, typically after a period of 10-30 years.
Paper Size: 20" x 28"
