OUR AMERICAN BOYS IN THE EUROPEAN WAR

Three Sheet (41" x 81"); Stone Litho
Very Fine+ Folded; Artwork by Victor Tardieu
Triangle Distributing, 1916

Featuring artwork by Victor Tardieu, this beautiful poster from the WWI-themed documentary is folded as issued and was printed on three panels. This unrestored example exhibits only wear at the top of two of the vertical folds with light edge wear with small nicks and a tear.

This documentary film pictures the American Field Service, an organization of volunteers driving ambulances behind the French frontlines, as well as the American pilots that joined the Lafayette Escadrille on the French side of the war. Long considered a lost movie, the film has been partially retrieved. Two reels of a revamped version were found recently in the film collection of the Library of Congress. This version was released in the United States in 1917 as Our Friend France and has some additional scenes.
