An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War I Poster (measures 21" x 29" [53 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) U.S. Food Administration, 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) Home Front poster ("Eat More corn, oats, and rye products- fish and poultry- fruits, vegetables and potatoes baked, boiled and broiled foods"; "Eat Less wheat, meat, sugar and fats to save for the army and our allies/associates") promoting what to eat so that food would be available to the Army and Allies who were undergoing food shortages due to the war. Note that this poster features L.N. Britton artwork of various foods. Artist: L.N. Britton Important Added Info: What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction either was not linenbacked all that well, OR the poster had more significant defects that were well corrected or both (you can tell which type it is by reading our written comments about the poster's condition). In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: good to very good. The poster had some tiny areas of paper loss and small tears in the borders and a few creases and small tears scattered in the poster. 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 it has received some extra wear on the borders since it was backed (any restorer could remove it from the thin linen and properly re-back it, and it would require very little paint restoration).
