An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War I Poster (measures 29 1/2" x 41 1/2" [75 x 105 cm]) (Learn More)

Men Wanted for the Army, the 1910s U.S. World War I (WWI) recruitment poster featuring artwork of various jobs available to those joining the United States Army. Note that there are at least four different styles of this poster, with different art by different artists, but all have the same layout, which includes a blank white area at bottom where a military recruiter would write in the location of the recruiting station. Note that we have seen several places that date this poster to 1914 exactly, and one of the four styles does have a 1914 after the artist's signature, but there is no saying that the other three are also 1914. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Artist: Michael P. Whelan

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this war poster!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had some tears, tape stains, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Someone wrote the address of a recruiting station in the bottom area designed for that purpose. It had some creases and tears scattered throughout, more so down the center. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
