An Original Vintage Unfolded Australian World War II Poster (measures 15 1/2" x 22" [39 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Delayed! VD, the 1946 Australian World War II (WWII) STD health poster warning soldiers overseas of the consequences of venereal disease and featuring art of a soldier shackled to the letters VD as he looks at the New York City skyline across the ocean by Franz O. Shiffers. Note that soldiers were endlessly warned that they needed to stay away from local girls and prostitutes because of the dangers of catching venereal disease! At the end of the war, the risk to soldiers became even greater, because any soldier with VD could not be sent home until they were cured, so, if they caught VD, they risked having to make very embarrassing explanations to their families, girlfriends, or wives, saying exactly why they could not be sent home along with the other men! Artist: Franz O. Schiffers Condition: very good to fine. The poster has never been folded and it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
