"When?" was the final print of five offered by the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday, March 24, 1940, in their third series Contemporary Graphics. George Harris' lithograph "When?" seems to portend the events of December 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Prior to the bombing, Americans were wondering what it might take for the U.S. to enter the war.
