An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/4" x 40" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Americans All, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("'...it is the duty of employers and labor organizers to provide for the full participation of all workers without discrimination because of race, creed, color, or national origin.' Franklin D. Roosevelt"; "Nienciewiscz"; "Du Bois"; "Hrdlicka"; "Schmidt"; "Kelly"; "Williams"; "Santini"; "Lazarri"; "Cohen"; "War Manpower Commission Washington D.C." ) discouraging discrimination, and featuring art of a tank getting worked on by Americans from different backgrounds (including obviously Jewish, Polish, German, and Italian names, along with a few "more standard" American names). Obviously, there was a problem during World War II with people whose heritage was from countries that we were at war with, and President Roosevelt was wanting to make sure that these people were not discriminated against at work.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. 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: very good to fine. There is 1" of separation at the bottom of the left vertical fold. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
