Framed Rosie the Riveter Posters

Framed Rosie the Riveter posters depict Rosie the Riveter, a cultural icon in the United States. Rosie the Riveter represents the female workers of World War II, who carefully crafted weapons, ammunition, and other supplies for the military during that time, both in shipyards and in factories.

Artist J. Howard Miller, in his most famous and beloved framed Rosie the Riveter artwork titled “We Can Do It,” illustrates the Rosie we’ve all come to know and love. In it, Rosie—who has served as the inspiration for many pin-up style illustrations—wears her curly black hair tied back in a red and white polka-dotted handkerchief. Her face is tough—almost mean, but proud nonetheless. She dons a blue industrial worker shirt, and is shown rolling up one of her sleeves to reveal her muscle underneath. Printed in a navy blue speech bubble above her are the bold white words, “We Can Do It!”
