Date Sold 4/11/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded French World War I Poster (measures 31 3/4" x 44 3/4" [81 x 114 cm]) (Learn More) On Ne Passe Pas. 1914... 1918 (literally translates to "They Shall Not Pass 1914... 1918"), the 1918 French World War I (WWI) poster (with a tagline that translates to "Twice I have held and conquered on the Marne. My civilian brother, the sneaky offensive of "white peace" will attack you in your turn. Like me, you must hold and conquer, be strong and clever. Beware of Kraut hypocrisy") created by the Union of the Great French Associations Against Enemy Propaganda. This poster features Maurice Neumont art of a ragged but victorious soldier standing on a battlefield and wearing gas mask around his neck. Note that the Marne is a French river and the site of important French victories near the start and end of the war. The "white peace" refers to a proposal which would have theoretically ended the war with all nations returning to their pre-war status without further repercussions. Artist: Maurice Neumont Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned different examples of this poster. Some measured measured smaller than this one, and some measured the same as this, and one measured a larger 34" x 48". They are definitely from different printings of the poster, because the artwork is placed slightly differently on the various posters, and it would make sense that they had a limited amount of paper in 1918 in France, and that they would have needed to do more printings. We don't know if one version predates the other, and we don't know that any collectors care. Condition: good. The poster has darkened somewhat It has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges with a larger tear at upper right (see our image). After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
