Home Front 1943

Florence Elliott White McClung's "Home Front" (1943) is a black and white lithograph that depicts a rural American scene. The artwork illustrates the importance of agriculture and the agricultural workers during World War II, a time when the "home front" was crucial for victory. A farmer tills the land with a tractor while a line of trucks, representing the war effort, pass by. The artwork’s focus on a rural setting and its portrayal of the everyday struggles of American citizens contributes to its value as a historical document and a testament to the American spirit during wartime.
