Auction History Result 9g022 DELAYED VD 16x22 Australian WWII war poster 1946 art of man chained to venereal disease! Date Sold 9/13/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 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: good to very good. There is a small amount of pencil writing in at upper right (in the "D" of the large "VD"). It has some light creases scattered in various areas but they are not very noticeable or distracting. The pencil writing could be carefully removed by a professional or talented amateur and the poster will display quite nicely. Learn More about condition grades
