An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/4" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

Don't Let That Shadow Touch Them, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) War Bond poster ("Buy war bonds") encouraging people to buy war bonds in support of the war effort, and featuring Lawrence Beall Smith art of three little children playing while the giant shadow of a Swastika falls on the ground around them. Certainly, most people would agree this is one of the most powerful World War II images, especially because of how subliminal the message is!
Artist: Lawrence Beall Smith
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this larger 28 1/2" x 40 1/4" size war poster, and the last one sold for $526!
