Date Sold 7/16/2009Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 16 1/4" x 22 1/2") (Learn More) Take Care VD, the 1946 Australian World War II (WWII) health poster warning soldiers overseas of the consequences of venereal disease and featuring art of a soldier fleeing from the letters VD that are descending from a storm cloud above him by Franz O. Shiffers. Note that soldiers were endlessly warned that they needed to stay away from local girls and prostitutes because of the dangers of catching venereal disease! At the end of the war, the risk to soldiers became even greater, because any soldier with VD could not be sent home until they were cured, so, if they caught VD, they risked having to make very embarrassing explanations to their families, girlfriends, or wives, saying exactly why they could not be sent home along with the other men! Artist: Franz O. Schiffers Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. The bottom 1" was folded back at one time. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
