This vintage original WWII poster is one in a series issued by Abbott Laboratories in conjunction with the United States Treasury War Finance Program. This poster features the heartwarming and joyous homecoming imaging of American soldier returning from the war with the title Bring him home Sooner! BUY WAR BONDS. The back of the poster has a small text box with information on the poster’s artist Lawrence Beall Smith who had been commissioned as a combat artist and was the only combat artist to produce first hand artwork depicting the D-Day Normandy invasion. 

This vintage original poster looks pretty well unused with no tape or pinholes and only light handling wear including a short half inch tear without paper loss on the bottom edge.  Overall condition is very good.
