Description

K.M. BARA (DATES UNKNOWN) YOU ARE WANTED BY U.S. ARMY. Circa 1918. 41 3/4x27 1/2 inches, 106x70 cm. Schmidt Litho., San Francisco. Condition B: tears, repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal fields;  A rare/span World War I poster, this image was printed locally in San Francisco so it would have had a much smaller distribution than images meant for national exposure. Using the visual psychology of James Montgomery Flagg's I Want You (1917), this image depicts General Pershing. It was likely published following the release of the United States War Film "Pershing's Crusaders." Not in Rawls, not in Theofiles, not in Borkan.
This is an extremely rare poster and you will not see it come for sale anytime soon. It is currently in a frame. Shipping is quoted with the frame. It can be picked up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Delivery is possibly available to some locations in Southern California. Shipping with frame is possible but expensive. Shipping without frame is possible.
