Auction History Result 7g003 DEFEND AMERICA hand-created 14x22 WPA WWII war poster 1940s there is a way for you to help! Date Sold 6/8/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded World War II Poster (measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Defend America, the 1940s U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("There is a way for you to help"; "Contact your Local Defense Council") encouraging citizens to contribute to the war effort and featuring art of a bald eagle in flight. Note that this is a one of a kind poster that was hand-created by a single artist. It has a stamp in the bottom right that reads "MUSEUM EXTENTION PROJECT WORKS ADMINISTRATION NEW JERSEY", and it was surely created by one of the many artists hired by the WPA! That artist might have created multiple posters with the exact same image, but it is also quite possible that this is the only example of this hand-created poster that exists! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is printed on a heavier weight paper stock, similar to that of window cards of this time period. It cannot be rolled and sent in a tube, so it will need to be sent in a large flat package.
UPDATED 06/07/2017: Note that we originally had hand-painted in the Auction Title, when hand-created would be more appropriate. This poster was likely silk-screened by hand and not using normal mass printing techniques. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
