An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 40" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Freedom From Fear, the 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Ours...to fight for") featuring a Norman Rockwell painting of parents tucking their son into bed while the father holds a frightening newspaper, originally printed in the Saturday Evening Post. Note that this was one of the set of four 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front & War Bond posters ("Ours... to fight for, Freedom from Fear"; "Ours... to fight for, Freedom from Want"; "Save Freedom of Speech. Buy war bonds"; "Save Freedom of Worship. Buy war bonds"; "Each according to the dictates of his own conscience") created by legendary artist Norman Rockwell. Note that the art on each of these posters initially appeared in the Saturday Evening Post magazine. The posters in this set each listed one of the four freedoms that Americans were fighting to preserve during World War II! Note that all four of these posters, commonly referred to as "The Four Freedoms", were printed in three sizes: 20" x 28", 28" x 40", and 40" x 56", and each was printed and distributed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1943 (there are other versions of the posters that were printed and distributed in other ways). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Norman Rockwell Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this poster before! We have auctioned three versions of the poster, four that measure 40" x 56", three that measure 20" x 28", but only TWO that measure 29" x 40", which is the size being auctioned here. The last example of this poster at this size that we auctioned sold for $311! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has general fold and border wear (slightly more so in the two vertical folds at left center). There are light oval-shaped creases along portions of the vertical foldlines (see our image) that were caused by the machine folding process itself (but they will greatly diminish if the poster is left flat). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
