This poster might seem "heavy handed" to today's world, but America during World War II was very conscious of not accidentally giving information to the enemy. Artist: Anton Otto Fischer Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had two tiny areas of paper loss 1/2" to the left and right of the middle crossfold with tiny paper loss at the top crossfold. The poster was folded in half an extra time (typical of war posters of this period). There were tears and small stains in the center of the top of the poster, both in the blank area and extending into the black background. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
