Date Sold 6/30/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded World War I Poster (measures 27 1/4" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) I Want You for the Navy, the 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) recruitment poster ("Promotion for anyone enlisting, apply any recruiting station or postmaster") encouraging men to join the United States Navy (a sort of parody on the classic "I Want You" Uncle Sam poster with art by James Montgomery Flagg that had come out that same year, using reverse psychology to get the men to enlist in the Navy, by using great art of a pretty woman in a Navy sailor's uniform by Howard Chandler Christy). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Howard Chandler Christy Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable group of around 100 guaranteed authentic mostly war posters (around 75 war posters, plus 25 others, including political ones) mostly dating from before 1900 through 1945, with 15 from after that date! 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 more than 100 posters! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a slightly diagonal crease in the lower right entering into the top of the word "ENLISTING". It has creases and tears around the edges. There is a 2" tear in the center of the bottom border. Someone put paper tape on the back of all the borders to reinforce them. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
