World War 1 Original Poster Collection 1918 1919 Howard Christy James Daugherty

Description

Auction is for all
11 ORIGINAL 100-year-old WWI era posters
.  Artwork and posters are magnificent!  The "Help Them Keep Your War Savings Pledge" poster by Casper Emerson Jr has significant archival repair and is rough, though it displays very nicely.  The remaining 10 in the collection are museum quality and breath-taking to look at in person.  Treat yourself to a fantastic podcast, 'Dan Carlin's Hardcore History' and enjoy the 6-part series "Blueprint for Armageddon."  Unbelievably good--at the level of Ken Burns historic presentation.  Thanks for looking and I welcome your questions and glad to send more photos.
