Bracker art of smiling military personnel. Note that the "War Camp Community Service" was one of the many service organizations during World War I that provided food, shelter, and companionship to servicemen on leave (like the YMCA and many others) Artist: Leone M. Bracker Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was mounted onto a thin linen with no excess (this was almost surely done soon after it was created). It has many small tears and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges, and the poster has darkened unevenly around the edges as well. It had minor wear along the folds (see our image). If I owned this cool poster, I would surely have it removed from the old linen and properly backed, after which, it will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
