ORIGINAL WORLD WAR I HONOR FLAG 4TH LIBERTY HONOR ROLL 1917-1918 WWI WW1 POSTER

Description

Original 1917-1918 produced World War I 4th Liberty Loan poster by the title 'HELP OUR TOWN WIN THIS FLAG HONOR FLAG 4TH LIBERTY LOAN HONOR ROLL OF SUBSCRIBERS' .
The poster depicting an image of a flag and text was printed utilizing the color lithographic process and printed by the Edwards and Deutsch Lithographic Company of Chicago, Illinois. Approximate poster dimensions are 27"h x 19.75"w.
This poster is offered unmounted and unbacked having been stored rolled up for many years.  The poster is in fine over-all condition.  The colors in the poster have been well preserved and are fresh in appearance due to having been rolled up for so many years.  There are no stains or areas of discoloration which is amazing considering the poster was produced 100 years ago.
Condition issues include two vertical tears measuring 5.25" and 3.5" from the top edge going down. There are no tack holes on the corners indicating the poster was most likely never hung. The background is either off-white or even-toned and the colors of the poster are crisp and bright. There are some light surface creases.
In my opinion based on the criteria for grading posters as used by Gary Borkan in his book 'World War I Posters' this poster would be in fine or better condition.
This poster is an original World War I poster of the period and is not a later copy, is not a re-issue and is not a reproduction.  This poster has never been offered for sale before this time as it had been part of a collection put together quite a long time ago.
The poster is in the condition as it was found having been stored away.  I have not repaired, restored or tampered with the poster in any way.
On some computer monitors the images seen in the listing may appear to show the colors of the poster to be muted or there may be a shine seen which is a reflection from either the camera flash or light but in actuality the colors of the poster are of even tonality.
For ultimate protection and preservation in shipment the poster has been placed between preservations sheets of neutral ph transparent glassine, rolled up and placed in a high quality protective Yazoo Mills shipping tube.  For easy take-out from the shipping tube a plastic bag has been used to wrap around the glassine protected poster enabling it to slide out easily from the tube.  Please be assured that I package as carefully and securely as possible so you will receive the poster in the condition as described in the listing.  Buyer to add .75 to cover the cost of packaging materials and shipping within the U.S.
