    By Artist:

    An Early Stone Lithograph Color Illustration of a young man, in uniform holding a rifle, shaking the hand of his father (looking like Uncle Sam) with white hair and beard wearing matching gray pants and vest and a white shirt with a bow tie. There is a landscape of farms in the distance. There is a blue border around the picture.

    This is a Fine War Art Poster in Remarkable Condition!
    Please Study The Detailed Photos!
    Photos may not be 100% accurate but I strive to get them as close as possible and will tell you if they are off in any way.
    For instance:
    This poster photos are an excellent match color wise but my lighting set up cast a very light shadow on the top part of the full photo you see of the poster, but the color is uniform with no shadow!
    However the day I re-took he back photos the sky was blue & the sun shinning and a blue shade is seen on the images some more than others.
    This poster
    was purchased along with many others at a Bradford Vermont Library Liquidation Sale years back where these were all stored in an upstairs closet since WW1 & have along with many others been stored in flat files ever since!
    I am in the process of liquidating my large unique collection of WW1 & WW2 Art Posters along with many other collectible items including Antique & Vintage Paper Collectibles, Art & a Vast Collection of Art/Picture Frames along with a Large Assortment of Collectible Items of Interest.
    I will try to keep posting new ones so you may want to keep an eye on my postings if you are a collector or investor of World War One & Two Art Posters.
    I will be happy to answer any questions you may have!
    Thanks For Stopping In & Taking An Interest In This Item!
