Interesting. The copyright is 1942 but the image looks, artistically, earlier. I wonder if GE recycled something from a WWI poster.
Indeed, interesting. The possibility of pre 1942 WWII artwork, is there. Most era posters have the artists name, this does not, and the majority are drawings.
Enlarged far as my laptop goes, quite sophisticated in detail, unsure it is drawn, photograph or colorized.
Either way, a very sophisticated artist, depicting a lovely young model.

The highly expressive face, Norman Rockwell-like aesthetic, and emotionally charged patriotic wording is a hallmark of Sheldon-Claire posters, a now-defunct advertising firm hired by the US government to create these in WWII. Some more examples:

The one of the weeping Frenchman is a colorization of a 1941 photograph showing French citizens watching the the French regimental flags being taken to Africa for safe keeping...

so it's a good bet the others are colorizations of war era photos.
