An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 40" x 55 3/4" [102 x 142 cm]) (Learn More) Save Freedom of Speech, the 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) War Bond poster ("Buy War Bonds") encouraging citizens to purchase bonds and featuring great artwork of a man speaking at a town meeting by Norman Rockwell which was taken from the Saturday Evening Post! Note that this was one of the set of four 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front & War Bond posters ("Ours... to fight for, Freedom from Fear"; "Ours... to fight for, Freedom from Want"; "Save Freedom of Speech. Buy war bonds"; "Save Freedom of Worship. Buy war bonds"; "Each according to the dictates of his own conscience") created by legendary artist Norman Rockwell. Note that the art on each of these posters initially appeared in the Saturday Evening Post magazine. The posters in this set each listed one of the four freedoms that Americans were fighting to preserve during World War II! Note that all four of these posters, commonly referred to as "The Four Freedoms", were printed in three sizes: 20" x 28", 28" x 40", and 40" x 56", and each was printed and distributed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1943 (there are other versions of the posters that were printed and distributed in other ways). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Norman Rockwell Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, this is the 40x56 version of this poster. These very large versions are much more rare than the smaller ones, and they are also much more dramatic when displayed on a wall! We are currently auctioning this poster, and also an example of "Freedom From Fear", which is in a separate auction. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some fine surface paper loss on parts of some folds, with a few tiny bits of surface paper loss that were not in folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. At some point after it was backed, it acquired a brown stain near the bottom of the right excess linen, but it does not affect the poster at all, and of course, it will not show when the poster is framed.
