Date Sold 7/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded World War I Poster (measures 29 1/2" x 40 1/4" [75 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Men Wanted for the Army, the 1910s U.S. World War I (WWI) recruitment poster featuring artwork of various jobs available to those joining the United States Army. Note that there are at least four different styles of this poster, with different art by different artists, but all have the same layout, which includes a blank white area at bottom where a military recruiter would write in the location of the recruiting station. Note that we have seen several places that date this poster to 1914 exactly, and one of the four styles does have a 1914 after the artist's signature, but there is no saying that the other three are also 1914. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Michael P. Whelan Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this poster (with this art of the bugler on horseback) before, and it sold for $479 (but that one was slightly different in coloring!) Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 29 1/2" x 40 1/4" [75 x 102 cm] (the previous one we sold measured 29 1/2" x 41 1/2", but it just had wider white blank borders). Condition: fair to good. Many years ago, likely soon after it was created, the poster, which had never been folded, was placed on to a thin linen with no excess. Over the years it acquired light staining around the edges, mostly in the blank borders but extending into the bottom left corner of the image and in a few other places in the image. It also acquired creases around the edges and a few creases within the image. If I owned this poster I would surely have it removed from the old linen and properly rebacked but bear this in mind and look at our super-size image before bidding.
