A ghostly image of a man above a sunken ship, broken in two, laying at the bottom of the sea. The artist is Harry Mayerovitch a Montreal artist, architect, and author. It is one of a number of posters Mayerovitch produced during the Second World War, during which he also headed the Wartime Information Board's Graphic Arts Division. It is published by the Wartime Information Board, Ottawa. This particular item is quite small (10" x 8") and includes a thread on the top, as if it was designed to be hung on the wall or next to a door. The collection also contains a larger poster (24.5" x 18") of this identical image.
