Label TextImmensely popular in its time, The Angel of Victory became an emblem of Oakley’s late career and of the Citizens Committee itself. This photograph is probably a proof for the triptych-themed postcards and Christmas cards that the Committee sold to raise funds for their efforts during the war.
