Created in 1944 by artist Hubert Morley, “Pitch in and Help! Join the Women’s Land Army of the U.S. Crop Corps” is a vibrant World War II recruitment poster celebrating the essential role of women in sustaining America’s agricultural production during wartime. Produced for the Women’s Land Army program, the poster encouraged women to support the national food supply by working on farms, dairies, and crop fields while many men served overseas.
Morley’s composition presents an idealized vision of wartime agricultural labor, depicting women harvesting vegetables, tending livestock, and assisting with farm operations beneath the bold slogan “Pitch in and Help!” The bright colors, clean lines, and optimistic imagery reflect the spirit of unity and shared sacrifice promoted throughout the American home front during the war years.
Today, the poster is admired both as an important historical artifact and as a striking example of mid-century American graphic design. Its celebration of women’s wartime contributions, combined with its warm rural imagery and bold typography, makes it especially appealing to collectors of patriotic art, vintage Americana, labor history, and World War II memorabilia.
