Part of an exciting series of sturdy, square-box 1000-piece jigsaw
puzzles from Flame Tree, featuring powerful and popular works of
art. This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, with a
masterpiece of inspirational poster art, Rosie the Riveter. This
1000 piece jigsaw is intended for adults and children over 13
years. Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts.
Finished Jigsaw size 735 x 510mm/29 x 20 ins. Now includes an A4
poster for reference. This popular image of empowerment has become
a symbol of modern female confidence. Originally created for the
Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company, it was part of a
sequence of posters commissioned by the company and appeared only
briefly during the war. Many have assumed a connection with the
American war effort, and the US Government exhortation to women to
join in the munitions and aerospace industry. Such campaigns
created thousands of jobs for women, and subsequent generations
have positioned Rosie as a symbol of late 20th Century empowerment.
In fact, this particular image was not used officially, and is
sometimes confused with the similar poster by Norman Rockwell,
which features a strident young woman standing before the American
flag. Miller's poster, though, captures the steely strength of
womanhood, with a direct challenge to the viewer through the
carefully made-up eyes, and clarion-calling slogan.
