Additional Information
Created in 1941 by the Federal Art Project, this striking World War II poster represents one of the most compelling civilian mobilization campaigns of the era. The bold bullseye design served as an urgent visual appeal to Americans, requesting donations of precision optical equipment to support naval operations.
The Works Progress Administration launched an extensive binoculars collection campaign after the attack on Pearl Harbor, recognizing that quality optics were essential for spotting enemy submarines and aircraft. Naval commanders urgently needed thousands of binoculars, and citizens responded by donating their personal Zeiss and Bausch & Lomb instruments.
German U-boat attacks along the Atlantic coast created critical shortages of observation equipment during the early war years. The poster specifically requested 6x30 and 7x50 magnification binoculars, the precise specifications needed for effective naval surveillance and the identification of threats across vast ocean distances.
This remarkable poster stands as a testament to civilian sacrifice and patriotic contribution during America's most challenging conflict. Its powerful imagery and direct message capture a moment when every citizen played a vital role in national defense, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection celebrating American wartime history.
