This poster certainly seems not only "heavy handed" to today's world, but outright "over the top", but of course America during World War II knew that the Nazis could potentially conquer the entire world and they wanted to make sure every citizen did all they could to keep that from happening, and posters like this certainly drove that message home! Artist: Anton Otto Fischer Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and separation and minor wear on parts of the folds. It had some pinholes, tears, and small paper loss around the edges, with stains in the bottom right and two tears entering the "G", and an irregular tear entering the first "N" of "SINKING". Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
