Vintage WWII Medical Art "Priority Passengers" by Kerr Eby

In 1943, Abbott Laboratories (a manufacturer of medical supplies) hired various artists to spend time among United States military medical staff to record their efforts in World War II. Through these artists' works we get an authentic look into the heroic deeds of multitudes of those who served in the armed forces. Afterward, the artwork was toured across the nation, featured in museums and various publications. Here is a chance for you to own one of these authentic prints. 

"Priority Passengers" is a charcoal on paper drawing by Kerr Eby depicting wounded soldiers being offloaded from a larger ship to smaller landing ships for further medical treatment. Kerr Eby (1889-1946) studied at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York. Eby is best known for his depictions of battle in the first and second world wars. Eby's works are featured in numerous museums around the world.
