This vintage original WWII poster was created by the artist Bernard Perlin and issued by the United States Treasury in 1943 to promote the sale of bonds for the Fourth War Loan. Perlin depicts an strapping American soldier reeling back to fling a hand grenade at an unseen enemy against a hellish war scene of billowing smoke and barbwire. The poster’s tagline “Let ‘Em Have It Buy Extra War Bonds” reminds Americans that they too can strike at the enemy by buying as many war bonds as possible.

This is the “half sheet” size of this poster measuring 28” x 20”. This vintage original poster is folded as issued and in very good condition with light handling wear and modest toning from age.  This poster had a small piece of water soluable paper tape on each upper corner which were easily removed.  The poster also has a small tape stain on the back which doesn't show on the front side and is otherwise free of tape or pinholes.   Overall condition is very good for this WWII era vintage original.  Email any questions.  Thanks for looking.
