Date Sold 12/8/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked French World War I Poster (measures 31 1/4" x 44 3/4" [79 x 114 cm]) (Learn More) On Ne Passe Pas. 1914... 1918 (literally translates to "They Shall Not Pass 1914... 1918"), the 1918 French World War I (WWI) poster (with a tagline that translates to "Twice I have held and conquered on the Marne. My civilian brother, the sneaky offensive of "white peace" will attack you in your turn. Like me, you must hold and conquer, be strong and clever. Beware of Kraut hypocrisy") created by the Union of the Great French Associations Against Enemy Propaganda. This poster features Maurice Neumont art of a ragged but victorious soldier standing on a battlefield and wearing gas mask around his neck. Note that the Marne is a French river and the site of important French victories near the start and end of the war. The "white peace" refers to a proposal which would have theoretically ended the war with all nations returning to their pre-war status without further repercussions. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned two different examples of this poster. One measured almost exactly the same as this one, and the other one measured 34" x 47 3/4". But they are definitely from different printings of the poster, because the artwork is placed slightly differently on the two posters, and it would make sense that they had a limited amount of paper in 1918 in France, and that they would have needed to do more printings. We don't know if one version predates the other, and we don't know that any collectors care. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had darkened somewhat, typical of French war posters of this period. It had some tiny bits of paper loss in the edges of the bottom half of the left and right blank borders, with a few tiny stains in the edges of the upper right border. It had a few tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
