An Original Vintage Unfolded World War I Poster (measures 29 3/4" x 39 3/4" [76 x 101 cm]) (Learn More) Fight or Buy Bonds, the 1917 U.S. World War I (WWI) War Bond poster ("Third Liberty Loan") encouraging citizens to purchase war bonds, and featuring Howard Chandler Christy art of a woman waving the American flag as soldiers march behind her Artist: Howard Chandler Christy Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note that this is one of seventeen wonderful World War I posters we were consigned, which we are auctioning in separate auctions. All of them are extremely fragile and in urgent need of restoration, but all of them CAN be "rescued", and after proper restoration they will display wonderfully (and many of them are incredibly rare). Please read our condition description below and look at our super-sized image before bidding on any of these great posters! Condition: fair to good. The poster has paper loss in the bottom left corner, but it is incredibly fortunate that only blank white paper is affected. We have never auctioned this poster before, but there is an example in the Library of Congress, and looking at that image it is clear that it is only blank white paper that is missing. There are some small tears and faint staining around the edges with small paper loss in a few areas of the rest of the borders. There is rippling scattered throughout the poster. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration! It is likely that many or most of the stains can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will look fantastic (and it will need very little paint restoration), but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
