An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 21" x 28" [53 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Be With Him at Every Mail Call, the 1945 U.S. World War II (WWII) poster ("V-mail is private, reliable, patriotic") encouraging relatives (especially wives and girlfriends!) to mail letters to troops using Victory Mail, and featuring a Lejaren A. Hiller image of a woman writing a letter with soldiers receiving letters in the background. The military knew that the greatest morale booster for servicemen overseas was getting mail as often as possible, so posters like these (which were displayed in public places) did all they could to encourage friends and relatives to send letters as often as possible. Note that V-Mail (short for Victory Mail) was a hybrid mail process used by the United States during the Second World War as the primary and secure method to correspond with soldiers stationed abroad. To reduce the cost of transferring an original letter through the military postal system, a V-mail letter would be censored, copied to a film roll with other letters, shipped, and then printed back to paper upon arrival at its destination. Artist: Lejaren A. Hiller Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good.
