WORLD WAR I POSTER. "JOURNEE DU POILU" / 25 ET 26 DECEMBRE 1915 / ORGANISEE PAR LE PARLEMENT," Steinberg, Paris, 47" x 31", framed, Very Fine. Black and white poster of two soldiers against the French countryside. "Poilu" is a slang term for a French soldier; the poster is declaring "Soldier's Day," which has been organized by the government for the 25th and 26th of December, 1915. Toned poster is somewhat brittle, with some paper loss and separation through vertical center fold and minor loss about the edges. A historic, heroic image.
