V Invest (Red, White, and Blue) (Lot of 9)  V Invest (Red, White, and Blue)
<B> V Invest (Red, White, and Blue) </B></I> (Lot of 9) 8-(30" x 20") and 1-(24" x 24") Artist: unsigned. A simple poster printed with the letter "V" in red, white, and blue and the word "Invest" below the "V". Other versions exist with the text "Invest" omitted, an example of which is also being offered in this auction. This simple and yet edifying poster was printed for the fifth and fine Liberty Loan, known as the Victory Liberty Loan, hence the letter "V." World War I posters ran the gamut from extremely graphic to extremely Spartan. This poster represents the latter extreme. When the Spartan infantry would file into battle their shields were embossed with the Greek letter lambda, which stood for Lacadaemonians, the name by which they referred to themselves; this letter "V" harkens to that simple expression of self and power. <r<r Condition-Poster 1-Fine; normal wear on edges from rolling/storage. <r<r Poster 2-Fine; normal wear on edges from rolling/storage. <r<r Poster 3-Fine; normal wear on edges from rolling/storage. <r<r Poster 4-Fine; normal wear on edges from rolling/storage. <r<r Poster 5-Fine; normal wear on edges from rolling/storage. <r<r Poster 6-Fine; normal wear on edges from rolling/storage. <r<r Poster 7-Good; severe cockling from fold memory, hard creasing on top edge, dirt stains and residue on edges. <r<r Poster 8-Fine; normal wear and tear on edges from storage/rolling, tape lift on upper right corner. <r<r Poster 9-Fine; stickers on back need removal, normal wear on edges from rolling/storage.
