Date Sold 8/25/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded World War I Poster (measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Enlist in the Navy, the 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) Home Front military recruitment poster ("To Arms"; "U.S. Navy Recruiting Station") encouraging citizens to enlist in the U.S. Navy, and featuring great Milton Bancroft art of a U.S. sailor blowing a bugle! Artist: Milton Bancroft Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It had a 9" tear in the center of the bottom border, but unfortunately, someone put tape on the back of that area that bled through to the front (see our image). There are tears and tiny paper loss in much of the lower left blank border and tears in the upper right corner, with some tape stains and small paper loss on those tears. Someone put paper tape on the back of all the borders. Certainly, the poster can be restored and linenbacked, but bear that expense in mind before bidding on this poster.
