Auction History Result 1z242 OFFICIAL WAR REVIEW linen 1sh 1918 best art of Lady Liberty leading soldiers to battle, rare! Date Sold 12/5/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Official War Review, the 1918 silent Pathe World War I (WWI) military documentary short newsreel series ("Official War Review at your theatre."; "Committee on Public Information George Creel, Chairman"; "Division of Films"; "Chas. S. Hart, Director"; this series contained at least 23 parts). Note that this poster features great unsigned art of a giant Lady Liberty holding her torch and leading U.S. soldiers into battle. We imagine this poster was used by theaters that showed Pathe short films or newsreels after the time the U.S. entered World War I, because there was surely a great demand from the public to see footage "from the front" in those pre-television days, and that was the only way to see actual footage. If anyone knows more about these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this one-sheet! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.

Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
