An Original Vintage Linenbacked French World War I Poster (measures 31 1/2" x 47" [80 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Journee Du Poilu (roughly translates to "Days of the Soldier"), the 1915 French World War I (WWI) Home Front poster encouraging people to donate to the French war efforts. Poilu (which literally meant "hairy") was also French military slang for a soldier, and many posters were created to promote these fundraising days. Artist: Adolphe Leon Willette Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was many years ago mounted onto a very thin linen with no excess. Likely after it was backed, it acquired small tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the upper right border, and small tears in the rest of both the left and right borders. It also acquired some light brown staining on the back of small parts of the linen, but it does not affect the front. The poster has two small metal clips attached to the left and right of the top border that allowed it to be hung to a wall. They are attached with round stickers from the back and they could be easily removed. Other than the defects in the left and right borders, the poster is in pretty nice condition and could be displayed as it is, or certainly, it could be removed from the thin linen and re-backed.
