Auction History Result 8c110 THIS IS THE ENEMY 29x40 WWII war poster '43 most classic swastika/Bible artwork! Date Sold 6/30/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 40" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) This is the Enemy, the 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) poster featuring incredible artwork of a soldier's hand (with a Nazi swastika on his sleeve) stabbing a Holy Bible with a bayonet! This poster was part of "The Nature of the Enemy" category of war poster, and almost everyone considers this one of the greatest of World War II propaganda posters. This poster certainly seems not only "heavy handed" to today's world, but outright "over the top", but of course America during World War II knew that the Nazis could potentially conquer the entire world and they wanted to make sure every citizen did all they could to keep that from happening, and posters like this certainly drove that message home! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable group of around 100 guaranteed authentic mostly war posters (around 75 war posters, plus 25 others, including political ones) mostly dating from before 1900 through 1945, with 15 from after that date! 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 more than 100 posters! 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 to fine. There is the tiniest of surface paper loss at two crossfolds. Otherwise, the poster is in wonderful condition, especially considering its age! Learn More about condition grades
