An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War I Poster (measures 30" x 40 1/2" [76 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) U.S. Marines: Soldiers of the Sea, the circa 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) recruitment poster. There were multiple recruitment posters of this design and each featured different full color artwork. Note that the U.S. Marine Corps was founded in 1775 as the "fighting branch" of the U.S. Navy. Most people think of the Marines are a completely separate branch of the military, but actually, they are still closely tied to the Navy (although many Marines don't like to think about that)! Artist: J.C. Leyendecker Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this war poster! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It had some creases and tears around the edges, with some surface paper loss in the left of the bottom border. It had some creases and scuffs scattered in the image. At some point either before or after the poster was backed, it was displayed, and the reds faded, and it acquired creases in the bottom left corner, both in the poster and in the linen. The poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, but please do not bid on this poster unless you have looked at our super-sized image and can accept its significant defects.
