This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $80 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

Rare WWII poster recognizing the service of Jewish soldiers. A devastated soldier, looking down, next to the graves of his fellow soldiers. Falter included one Star of David to show the unity of American people, regardless of their faith. This poster was intended to encourage people to contribute and help the war effort, like the soldiers were doing in the front. In the poster we can distinguish the National War Fund eagle logo, which was widely used as the insignia for the 1943 campaigns.
Please note original fold lines and slight tape stains in the corners,
