Description
A rare, original lithograph poster of a famous WWI battle, titled "Chateau Thierry, the Turning Point of the World War." Copyright 1919 by E. G. Renesch of Chicago. The size of this is 16" x 12" and the frame is slightly larger, in overall good condition. There is a piece missing under the word "World," and a few small tears -- notably bottom right, and top left -- all of which can be minimized from the back. It's quite a striking battle scene, complete with bi-planes, buildings being blown up, and the smoke and chaos of close combat, memorializing a battle where 6,000 US Marines triumphed over 30,000 Germans. I rescued this poster, which had probably been rolled up for a century, so I my first thought was to frame it and get it smoothed flat. There was a larger version issued of this poster, but
this small size I believe is the rarer. Please examine the photos, and ask any questions you may have. I'm open to offers, thank you.
NOTE: Luckily I found a perfect box, smaller than the one I'd used for the original calculated shipping on this listing. So I repackaged, and
it reduced
the cost of Priority, although of course shipping charges are quite high now -- I haven't charged handling to keep the mailing cost down.
