If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from right after World War II, and is printed in the smaller size, which was common in Belgium at that time, due to paper shortages (some of the posters were printed on the backs of maps or other posters). It may or may not have been trimmed (because while it has no blank top, and measures 11 1/4" x 14 1/4" [29 x 11 cm], some of the posters from Belgium at this time were not printed with blank tops, to conserve on paper).

It had minor wear on each fold and a stain in the top right blank corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
