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 in excellent condition with just light handling wear and modest toning from age and no significant defects. This poster ships folded as issued.
