EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and iconic WW2 poster design by Victor Hicks from the 1940s, showcasing the spirit of resilience and determination during wartime. The image features a smiling Russian worker, holding a pipe in one hand and a hammer and sickle in the other, with the caption encouraging everyone to "Carry Onski." This poster was created during a pivotal moment in history, as the Allied forces, including the Soviet Union under Stalin's leadership, were fighting against the Axis powers in World War II. The image of the Russian worker, with his pleased expression and the hammer and sickle symbolizing industry and labor, represents the unity and strength of the Allied forces. The design's simple yet effective use of colors, typography, and imagery made it an instantly recognizable and impactful piece. The bold red background and the contrasting white text and symbols grab the viewer's attention, while the worker's expression conveys a sense of optimism and hope in the face of adversity. "Good Workski! Carry Onski" is a testament to the power of visual communication during times of war and serves as a reminder of the collective effort and determination required to overcome great challenges. This poster is a valuable historical artifact that continues to inspire and resonate with audiences today.
