This poster was likely used in areas with large amounts of Italian immigrants. Note that this poster features art of an Italian military officer by George Illion! Artist: George Illion Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was never folded. It had smudges in the background areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a thin linen with no restoration and no excess, and at some point after it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it acquired a faint horizontal crease through the neck of the man, with some areas in the upper right border, where the poster has torn and is "lifting" from the linen (see our image).
