" is at the bottom, center. This well-known poster has been stabilized and nicely framed under glass (see framer's name in photos). It measures 20-1/2" wide by 30-1/2" tall inside the 1/4" red-colored metal frame. Because of its age, there are some condition issues as follows: water stain st the lower right corner; horizontal and vertical folds; tack holes in the corners, possible 2" tear at the top; general faded areas. Despite this, the piece displays extremely well and is ready for hanging. An iconic and extremely desirable piece of WWI war time memorabilia!
This piece is part of a Southern Vermont estate of a man who traveled the world, and is absolutely authentic.
The cost of a professional artwork shipping box is included in the price.
