A Linenbacked French Advertising Poster (measures 39" x 58 3/4" [99 x 149 cm]) (Learn More) Stocks Americains (literally translates to "American Inventories"), the 1932 French advertising poster promoting surplus American military and general items which included: boots and shoes, waterproof clothing, bedding, blankets, gardening equipment, camping equipment, tarps, tools, and more. Apparently, when the American G.I.s left France after World War I, they left behind a ton of U.S. war surplus, and apparently, this was a poster advertising the sale of it, which seems strange, since it was 14 years after the end of the war, so maybe these were newly made items that were designed to look like American items! Note that this poster features artwork of an American soldier and the many items available at the store. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It had slightly darkened, typical of French posters of this period. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
