An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Give Your Good Books to our Fighting Men, the 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Give your good books to our fighting men"; "The books you'd like to keep... are the good ones to give": "Take them to the nearest library or collection center for the 1943 Victory Book Campaign sponsored by the American Library Ass'n. The American Red Cross... The U.S.O.") encouraging people to support their troops by donating used books that would then be sent to servicemen overseas. Note that this poster features art of a soldier, sailor and marine watching people donate books. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. 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: very good. The poster has some fold and border wear, with small separation at the left end of the bottom horizontal fold and in the right end of the middle horizontal fold.
