This is a vintage original Pop-Art style poster from George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign featuring artwork by Mary Corita Kent who was also known as Sister Mary Corita. This poster was part of the Art for McGovern initiative where over 100 prominent artists donated works, limited-edition prints, and posters to raise money and draw media attention for the McGovern campaign. Contributor artists involved in the Art for McGovern initiative included Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Georgia O'Keeffe and others along with Sister Mary Corita and others.  

This poster is free or tape or pinholes and shows light handling wear and three faint vertical crease lines from having been lightly folded at one time.  There is a faint trace of staining on the back of the poster on the right edge which doesn’t show on the front side.  Overall condition is very good for this vintage original.
