An Original Vintage Unfolded War Propaganda Poster (measures 12" x 16") (Learn More) Don't Reveal Any Figures, this 1940s U.S. World War II (WWII) poster ("A day's delay - a soldier may pay.") featuring art by Lawson Wood. Note that Lawson Wood created six of these World War II propaganda posters featuring human-like chimpanzees and pigs. Wood was a fascinating historical character! He was an illustrator who worked for English magazines in the early 1900s. He served in World War I, and afterwards returned to illustration, gaining great popularity with his comic drawings of prehistoric and Stone Age characters, and chimps, apes, and monkeys that would perform absurd versions of human activities. These characters were made into short cartoons, and were intended to be the basis of one of the films made by Ub Iwerks, but the outbreak of World War II caused that not to happen. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Lawson Wood Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a series of six World War II posters created by artist Lawson Wood, and printed by Brown & Bigelow of St. Paul, Minnesota during World War II. Each of the posters is on a lightweight paper stock (similar to that of a newer lobby card), but it is not so lightweight that we would roll the poster, and will be sent in a flat package. Each of the posters had one of Lawson Wood's trademark people-like chimp and pigs, with a slogan above them and a warning from "Grandpop" (the elderly chimp) giving people in the Home Front in World War II advice on what to do to increase the Allies' chance of winning the war. We are currently selling four of the six posters on eBay (in four different auctions). Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
