An Original Vintage Unfolded World War I Poster (measures 20" x 30" [51 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) 10,000,000 Members by Christmas, the 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) Home Front poster ("On Christmas Eve a candle in every candle in every window and Red Cross members in every home") encouraging citizens to join the Red Cross and featuring art of a lit candle in a window with holly and the Red Cross in the background! Artist: F. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: good to very good. There are uneven tears in the upper right of the image that enter the blue background, but virtually no paper loss in that area. There is a 2" tear in the upper left border and a tiny tear in the center of the top border. There is a diagonal crease in the bottom left corner. After a simple linenbacking, the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
