An Original Vintage Linenbacked French War Bonds Poster (measures 31 1/2" x 44 1/2") (Learn More) Debout Dans la Tranchee Que l'Aurore Eclaire (literally translates to "Standing in the Trench that the Dawn Illuminates"), the 1917 French World War I (WWI) War Bond poster (with a tagline that translates to "Standing in the trench that the dawn illuminates, the soldier awakens to victory and to his home. Subscribe to the 3rd National Defense Loan") encouraging French citizens to buy war bonds, and featuring Lieutenant Jean Droit art of a French soldier. Artist: Jean Droit Condition: good. The poster is mounted on a very thin linen with two metal grommets in the top border, and no excess linen around the edges (it seems likely the poster was created and distributed in this way, and was not backed at a later time). The entire poster had darkened and it was folded and there are scuffs and tiny areas of surface paper loss on several folds. There are many creases and scuffs around the edges of the image, and many tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. If I owned this really cool poster, I would surely have it removed from the thin linen and properly linenbacked, and it would likely not require very much paint restoration.
