Date Sold 8/7/2022Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded World War II Poster (measures 19" x 20" [48 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Protect Yourself, Cover Up!, the 1945 U.S. World War II (WWII) military health & safety poster created by the 102 Malaria Control Detachment to encourage soldiers to protect themselves, and featuring Powers artwork of a nude woman in bed! Note that the Malaria Control Detachments were tasked with educating military personnel about the dangers of malaria and how to prevent it, along with deploying mosquito insecticides. The MCDs would create their own posters and signs, which often featured risque or copyright-infringing artwork, and likely no one sued them, because their posters were all "for good causes"! We have seen an image of one that uses Disney characters, and since Disney virtually always sued everyone who used their images, we imagine they tried to sue over that one, but we don't know any details. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Powers Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this World War II poster! We don't know what country it is from, although it would seem to most likely be from the U.S., although possibly it could be from England. It is surely from 1945, because it has that date after the artist's name. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has light brown stains scattered across the bottom blank border and tiny pairs of staple holes in the top border,. Since the defects are in the blank borders this can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as is, or one might choose to have slight border restoration performed. It will be the choice of the new owner of this incredibly rare poster. Learn More about condition grades
