An Original Vintage Folded Argentinean Poster (measures 30" x 44 1/4" [76 x 112 cm]) (Learn More) Los Ninos de Europa sufren y Esperan Ayudelos (literally translates to "The Children of Europe Suffer and Hope to Help Them"), the circa 1940s Argentinean poster promoting a foreign aid campaign, and featuring art of two children by Mariette Lydis. The poster tagline translates to "Donations in cash or clothes are accepted at the national bank and all its chapters at the offices of the Pan-American Economic Institute Free Committee". Note that we imagine this poster was used in Argentinean movie theaters when they would raise money for the Red Cross (they had similar charitable appeals in U.S. theaters, where they would bring up the lights between features and circulate people in the audience with cans asking for donations!) If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Mariette Lydis Important Added Info: This Argentinean poster measures 30" x 44" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster was never folded. It had some wear around the edges, but otherwise, the poster was in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great!
