For Home and Country (Lot of 10) WWI Posters For Home and Country.
<B>For Home and Country.</B></I> (Lot of 10) 6-(40" x 30") and 4-(30" x 20"). Artist: Alfred Everett Orr. Most books and collectors sites describe this poster as "common." Although it may be "common" in the sense that there are more around or more were produced, it is by no means a "common" work of art. The poster is a microcosm of what the Liberty Loans stood for. This poster was issued for the fifth and final loan and represents the family for which all the soldiers were fighting. The home front is represented by the mother and child and the war front is depicted by the presence of the helmet and uniformed soldier. This is a masterful juxtaposition of peace and war, a poster that every collector should have! <BR><BR>Condition: <BR>Poster 1-Superior; near-mint! <BR>Poster 2-Superior; slight wear on the edges. <BR>Poster 3-Fine; some cockling from folding, edges show minor wear, small hole near letter F. <BR>Poster 4-Fine; water damage stains on upper left portions, cockling from fold memory, dirt staining. <BR>Poster 5-Fair; severe tear into the graphic, worn edges, paper showing signs of brittleness. <BR>Poster 6-Fair; severe tear into the graphic, worn edges, paper showing signs of brittleness. <BR>Poster 7-Fine; stickers on back need removal, minimal edge wear. <BR>Poster 8-Fine; severe tear near left corner, minimal edge wear. <BR>Poster 9-Superior; small signs of dirt staining near top edge. <BR>Poster 10-Superior; dirt staining on top edge, otherwise perfect.
