A word about these very old (100+ years) posters: these are from a private collection, but they have never been restored, framed, or altered. Most are in the condition they were in when they were taken down the day after World War 1 ended, rolled, and stored away. With a few exceptions, their condition is only antique Good, meaning they are complete, with good graphics and color, but showing signs of much handling and considerable age. These posters were ephemera
—
they were never meant to last long after the guns fell silent. Please keep this in mind when buying old paper items such as these.
