An Original Vintage Unfolded World War II Poster (measures 18" x 22" [46 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Men and Women Volunteers Wanted, the 1941 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Register Train Serve for Civilian Defense"; "Official registration center of Philadelphia council of defense"; "Women's Home Defense Association") encouraging people to sign up for the civilian defense forces, and featuring patriotic art of a bald eagle on a blue field. Note that in World War II, there was a major fear across the nation that at any time enemy forces might invade the United States, and civilian defense groups were set up across the country to prepare for the eventuality, and since so many men were off fighting at war, many women took part in this effort. Of course, this never came to be! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was likely originally a standee, because it has surface paper loss paper loss in the back of the center of the poster, where a standee backing was likely attached. The poster was created on a fairly heavyweight paper that cannot be rolled. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example f it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good to very good. There are many creases, smudges, and light stains around the edges, with a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Learn More about condition grades
