Artist: N Important Added Info: Note that this poster was likely printed in two versions. The images are the same, but one has English, and one has French (for the French speaking portion of Canada). This auction is for the French language version (we have never auctioned the English language version, but we presume that it exists). Also note that we have auctioned many U.S. World War II posters that were designed to be displayed to the general public to encourage them to help in the war effort, but now we have been consigned 10 similar very rare Canadian World War II posters, and they we are currently auctioning them in 10 separate auctions! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was folded once in each direction and had minor wear on the folds. It had three tears in the far right of the middle of the ship, in the solid black area, and a small stain in the top center background area, with a few tiny dot stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
