Posters
We are pleased to offer a fine selection of war posters issued during the First World War from a substantial archive collection formed during the period until recently held by a prominent American institution. Some of these posters are well known, others less so, some by important artists, other anonymous, but they are all rare and remarkable for their survival today. As a visual art form they vary from the most dramatic and emotive images of war and its consequences, to broadsheets containing a simple, but often powerful, message.
Poster Grade/Condition Information
To give an indication of the condition of our original WW1 posters we have graded them as follows.
Grade 1 - The poster may have been lightly folded, may have marginal tears, and is complete.
Grade 2 - The poster has been folded or has small marginal tears, but is complete.
Grade 3 - Folded or with marginal tears, small loss to the margins, the image without loss.
Grade 4 - Folded or torn with some loss affecting the main image, but still very presentable.
Grade 5 - Folded and torn, loss affecting main image, but still presentable.
Grade 6 - Poor condition with folds, tears and losses; best suited for framing.
