The "Women! Help America's Sons Win the War" poster is "signed" R. H. Porteous. Nothing has been found on this artist, and some have attributed this poster to P. S. Porteus (note different spelling). Others attribute this to Robert H. Porteous, perhaps the same Robert Porteous listed in the 1900 census at Passaic City, NJ, who was born in 1865 in Illinois."
