Note that this poster was printed in 1918 to illustrate the work of the Emergency Fleet Corporation which was responsible for getting the U.S. heavy war production into action in times of national peril. At the height of WWI production, the U.S. was able to turn out a War Ship every 3 days from some shipyards! Artist: Jonas Lie Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes and tears around the edges, more so in the left and right of the top and bottom of the poster. It had a tiny area of surface paper loss in the top right sky area (see our image). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
