An Original Vintage Unfolded World War I Poster (measures 27 3/4" x 42 1/4" [70 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) One of the Thousand Y.M.C.A. Girls in France the 1918 U.S. World War I (WWI) Home Front poster ("United War Work Campaign Nov. 11 to 18th") encouraging people to help the war effort, and featuring Neysa McMein art of a "Y.M.C.A. girl" holding books and offering a cup of coffee to French WWI soldiers while standing in front of the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association). Artist: Neysa McMein Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has paper loss in the top border that extends into the top of the red background. There are many creases and tears around the edges. There is much tape on the back of the borders that was put there for reinforcement. After a relatively simple linenbacking (with replacement of the missing border paper), the poster will look great, but bear in mind the cost of the restoration before bidding on this poster.
