Ewart Melbourne Brindle (1904-1995) "Melbourne" Brindle 
Melbourne Brindle, the son of artist Arthur Brindle was named for his birthplace in Australia near where he was educated in a rural one-room schoolhouse. His love for art started showing about age 10 when he began drawing and did his first painting at 11. He immigrated with his family to the United States of America in 1918. Melbourne Brindle got his first art job at age 14 in a San Francisco department store as a showcard letterer and with the exception of a brief period of study at CSFA he remained basically a self-taught artist throughout his successful art career. He worked in San Francisco until he established a studio in New York in 1938; he later lived in Camden, Maine, then Vero Beach Florida until his death on Sept. 19, 1995.
During World War II Mr. Brindle designed many posters and did many illustrations to support the Allied war effort; in 1942 he designed "Bundles for Berlin, More Production!" the war munitions production poster featured on this page. His other types work included U.S. postage stamp design as well as illustrations, advertisements and covers for major American magazines like the Woman's Home Companion, Fortune, Saturday Evening Post and other major magazines. He was a prolific commercial artist and painter, his specialties were automobiles (he was also a collector and restorer of classic automobiles) and sea-landscapes; paintings by Mr. Brindle are in the collections of the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., the Society of Illustrators in New Your city and other museums.

Obituary for Melbourne Brindle from the New York Times.
Second World War American patriotic posters like "Bundles for Berlin, More Production!" helped unite Americans and mobilize the private and industrial sectors; U.S. citizens of every age, gender, and walk of life did their part to support the war effort, allied military and defeat the axis powers.
U.S. citizens hoped that the Axis powers could be stopped without American military support and hoped America could avoid direct involvement in World War 2 but that all changed the morning of December 7 when Japan blindsided the U.S. military with bombs in the attack of Pearl Harbor Hawaii and other U.S. military outposts. The military might of the United States of America of course responded with a powerful vengeance but leaders knew that troops could not win the war alone. The American citizens rallied for the troops and swift mobilization of American citizenry and industry during World War II was an achievement without precedent in speed, scale, complexity and duration. This achievement can be partially attributed to the federal government's intensive program to marshal the contributions of people of all ages and from all walks of life. Many Americans were willing to give up all luxuries and devote all spare time to the war effort to achieve victory. The posters in this gallery helped motivate and mobilize private citizens to find non-military support jobs and produce huge amounts of war materials. The public domain images of vintage patriotic posters from this collection like "Bundles for Berlin, More Production!" featured on this page from the American Citizens, Agriculture and U.S. Industry Mobilizes to Support the Troops during World War 2 Poster Gallery of this website allow you to own a copyright free piece of WWII history, a historic patriotic public domain artwork poster that is still motivating today.
