Every size drawn to scale on one wall, above the sofa in a photographed room. Sizes are the canvas; a frame adds a little on every side.
Print proof — This is the exact file our printer receives for this size, so what you see here is what gets printed, edge to edge. Use it to see how much margin a size leaves and, before you buy a large size, to check the sharpness in the 100% close-up.

Colors on a screen can look slightly different from ink on canvas. This file goes to the printer automatically when you order, and your piece ships straight from the print studio to you.

Rooms to scale: each was measured against a 5 ft 6 in figure, so the print is drawn at its true size against the furniture. Rooms and people are generated images. Swipe the room, tap a dot, or press Next room to see the print in another room. Drag the print to try another spot (or move it with the arrow keys); switch sizes above to compare.
Step 1 — set the scale. Drag the slider until the gold bar on the photo is the height of a standard doorway (80 in / 203 cm). Every size you pick is then drawn true to life.
Step 2 — drag the print to where it would hang, and change size or frame above to compare.

Of Course I Can!
The story of this poster
Home canning was the other half of the victory garden: what was grown in summer was put up in jars for the winter, which saved the ration points that bought canned food in stores. Dick Williams drew this poster for the War Food Administration in 1944 with a pun in the title and a cheerful, startled housewife holding her harvest.
It is the funniest poster of the group and a favorite for kitchens and pantries.
The poster comes from the U.S. National Archives (NAID 515098, 44-PA-1435). It was issued by the War Food Administration, and as a work of the United States government it is in the public domain. The scan was cleaned and color-corrected while keeping the paper tone; it is restored from the Archives’ image, not redrawn.
What we did to this scan
Cropped by hand to the edge of the printed sheet.
Balanced the levels and took out the scanner’s color cast, keeping 75% of the paper’s age tone.
Cleaned dust and specks picked up by the scanner.
A light sharpen, so fine lines and lettering hold at large sizes.
About this particular sheet. Made from the National Archives' scan of the whole printed sheet, trimmed to the edge of the paper, cleaned of dust and specks and color-corrected while keeping the paper tone; the government printing imprint at the foot of the sheet is kept. On some sizes the poster sits on a narrow paper-tone margin, so nothing of the printed sheet or its lettering is cut.
Every print is credited to its archive here and in your order confirmation. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn. How we restore.
Questions
What does the poster show?
A wide-eyed woman with dark curled hair hugging an armful of glass jars of home-canned fruit and vegetables, with more jars in front of her, under "Of Course I Can!" in red and above the lines "I'm patriotic as can be — And ration points won't worry me!"
Is this an original WWII poster?
No. It is a new canvas print made from the National Archives' full-resolution scan of the original poster. We never sell originals.
Where does this image come from?
From the U.S. National Archives, Record Group 44, World War II Posters, record NAID 515098 (local identifier 44-PA-1435). It was issued by the War Food Administration in 1944. It is a work of the United States government, which is not subject to copyright (17 U.S.C. §105), so it is in the public domain; the Archives' record lists its use as unrestricted and is linked on this page.
How is it made?
It is printed to order for you, in the finish you choose: a float frame canvas, a classic frame canvas, a stretched canvas or a rolled canvas. Both frames come in Black or Antique Gold. The size and finish picker shows which sizes each finish is made in.
Colors vary a little between screens and canvas. The previews are drawn, not photographed, and are a close match to the printed piece.
