War posters of this period were often created in those three sizes, but the 22" x 28" size is almost always the most commonly seen, and the other two sizes are usually far more rare.

The poster was folded in half an extra time (typical of war posters of this period). It had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and minor wear on the folds, with some small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
