An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War I Army Recruiting Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 40 3/4" [72 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Men Wanted for the Army, the 1910s U.S. World War I (WWI) recruitment poster featuring artwork of various jobs available to those joining the United States Army. Note that there are at least four different styles of this poster, with different art by different artists, but all have the same layout, which includes a blank white area at bottom where a military recruiter would write in the location of the recruiting station. Note that we have seen several places that date this poster to 1914 exactly, and one of the four styles does have a 1914 after the artist's signature, but there is no saying that the other three are also 1914. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Michael P. Whelan Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had a 10" slightly diagonal tear near the middle left of the poster and a thin strip of paper loss in the bottom left of the image. There were some creases and scuffs scattered throughout the image. There were pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, and some of the tears extended into the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
