(literally translates to "We'll Get Them!"), the 1916 French World War I (WWI) War Bond poster ("2e Emprunt de La Defense Nationale") encouraging citizens to buy war bonds, and featuring Abel Faivre art of a French soldier. Note that there is a U.S. World War II poster that has a soldier in an extremely similar pose to this, and that poster has "We have just begun to fight!" at the top. Obviously, the artist of that poster (unknown to us) drew his inspiration for his poster from this French one! Artist: Abel Faivre Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds, darkening, smudges and scuffs on the foldlines, and some minor border wear. It had some smudges and scuffs in parts of the white background areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
