Vintage WWII Medical Art Lithograph "Corpsmen Relax" by David Stone Martin

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 works. 

"Corpsmen Relax" is a lithograph based on a watercolor by David Stone Martin depicting wounded soldiers relaxing on stretchers. David Stone Martin (1913-1992) attended the Art Institute of Chicago and is best known for his illustrations on jazz album covers, including for Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald, to name a few.
