  • Condition: A Great 100 year old war art poster measures 21" x 29" is in fine condition for its age with minor blemishes to include misc minimally used pieces of that thin porous non acid Archival document repair tape on back to stabilize some small tears along with the usual light stains wrinkles and edge wear found on these posters. All adding up to a poster with plenty of antique character and charm. And such a fine image and text! Please study the photos in detail as they are part of the description. Any questions please ask!Note: I still maintain that an original non - backed or mounted poster is worth more as an antique than one that has been backed or dry mounted. So if you can avoid these methods (can't always...) all the better for you and the longevity of your valued art. Good Luck Collecting!
