An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 20" x 28" [51 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Freedom From Fear, the 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Ours...to fight for") featuring a Norman Rockwell painting of parents tucking their son into bed while the father holds a frightening newspaper, originally printed in the Saturday Evening Post. Note that this was one of the set of four 1943 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front & War Bond posters ("Ours... to fight for, Freedom from Fear"; "Ours... to fight for, Freedom from Want"; "Save Freedom of Speech. Buy war bonds"; "Save Freedom of Worship. Buy war bonds"; "Each according to the dictates of his own conscience") created by legendary artist Norman Rockwell. Note that the art on each of these posters initially appeared in the Saturday Evening Post magazine. The posters in this set each listed one of the four freedoms that Americans were fighting to preserve during World War II! Note that all four of these posters, commonly referred to as "The Four Freedoms", were printed in three sizes: 20" x 28", 28" x 40", and 40" x 56", and each was printed and distributed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1943 (there are other versions of the posters that were printed and distributed in other ways).

Note that we were just consigned a wonderful collection of 59 war posters, most from World War II (which we are auctioning in 59 separate auctions)! Included in this collection are some posters we have never auctioned before, and some we have only auctioned once or twice before (sometimes only many years ago). This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain some or all of these historic posters, many of which have great images!). Condition: good. The poster has staining in the lower right section as well as some tiny writing (see our image). There are is some slight discoloration in the man's shoulder at upper center. There is some very light rippling in portions of the upper blank border. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the staining can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
