Auction History Result 7h0379 NEWSMAP vol 2 no. 34 2-sided 35x47 WWII war poster 1943 Al Capp Li'l Abner cartoon strip! Date Sold 1/24/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Two-Sided World War II Poster (measures 35 1/4" x 47" [90 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Newsmap, the 1943 - 1945 U.S. World War II (WWII) poster series, with each poster featuring images and information about various aspects of the war such as the accomplishments of engineers, the current progress of the Allied war efforts, daily life in the armed forces, and more. We are not sure if these were distributed to military bases, or to the "Home Front", or maybe both. Surely most people treated them like old newspapers and discarded them after use, and they are likely quite rare (and there were quite a few different ones). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned several other posters from this series over our years of auctioning, each from a different entry. But THIS poster is far more interesting than any of the others, because it has a long cartoon strip by Al Capp (legendary creator of the Li'l Abner newspaper strip) about the importance of saluting, and it has Li'l Abner characters all through the strip (see our image). Note that this poster is double-sided, but not in the regular way. There is a different image on each side of the poster. We have provided an image of each side, and please realize that the winner of this auction will receive ONE poster! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
