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 poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a small circular patch of slight discoloration on back that is slightly visible from the front (to the upper left of the center crossfold) and there are tiny brown dot stains behind that area in between the middle and upper horizontal folds (but they are not very noticeable or distracting especially due to the art in that area. It has some fold and border wear with some tiny separation and paper loss at the center crossfold and lesser tiny paper loss in some other crossfolds. The few defects are not very noticeable or distracting at all when the poster is displayed, and after a simple linenbacking the poster would look great! Learn More about condition grades
