An Original Vintage Unfolded World War II Poster (measures 25" x 38" [64 x 97 cm]) (Learn More) U.S. Army: Guardian of the Colors, the 1940 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster encouraging citizens to support the Army. Note that this poster features Tom Woodburn artwork of U.S. soldiers holding the American flag! Also, note that we know of two versions of this poster, one from 1936 and one from 1940! They are very similar to each other, although the words "U.S. Army" are in a different font on each of the two posters. Artist: Tom Woodburn Important Added Info: Note that the poster here is the 1940 version of this poster (see above). Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. There are smudges around the edges and in the bottom blank area, with a smudge in the lower right of the image. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
