#1 WAR MOVIE POSTER OF ALL TIME!!
Offered here is one of the most important posters ever created:
An original 1917 WWI "U.S. OFFICIAL WAR PICTURES" 1-Sheet (28 inches by 41 inches) by LOUIS FANCHER!
Unquestionably, one of the great poster designs of all time! Certainly, this is the greatest war related movie poster ever created. It was made to advertise the first motion pictures ever seen of a war. The US government sent cameraman overseas to the front in the European war to capture the action. Public interest was as sky high, as you'd expect for such a spectacle. The United States hired one of the best illustrators working at the time, Louis Fancher, to design this magnificent stone litho. I'd say breathtaking is an understatement in describing the final result he achieved. It's a work that's sophisticated, vintage, and, timeless all at the same time. As a movie poster it's quintessential. As a documentary poster, it has no equal. Talk about historic; it gets no better than this!
This poster was well regarded from its inception back in 1917. Back then, posters were at the peak of their importance as a medium - before the advent of TV, or even radio. I've posted a photo that I found of a prestigious committee of poster artists, illustrators, and painters taken in New York City back in 1917 (
see photos 3&4
). This photo was reproduced in James Fraser's 1991 hardbound book, "The American Billboard - 100 Years." Notice, right behind the committee, a copy of this War Pictures poster is proudly displayed. Needless to say, no advanced collection of important posters is complete without this masterpiece! The poster is in
SOLID NearMINT CONDITION!
This 100 year old poster was archivally Linen-mounted for preservation only.
LINEN-MOUNTING
is an accepted form of poster preservation by the Library of Congress and every Museum in the country. Except for one or two,
every one of the top twenty
0,000.00 and up most expensive selling movie posters
were all linen or paper-mounted
. A lot of advanced poster buyers request and prefer linen-mounted posters because it makes framing and displaying the posters much easier
-
without the risk of damaging the original

. The white you see -
beyond that of the poster
- is the white of the Japanese paper lining the linen border margin. You can see how easy it would be to damage the original poster without that extra margin of protection. The backing makes the poster much safer to handle - it GREATLY reduces the risk of damaging the original. This is ready for framing and display!
Buying this poster is ECONOMY PROOF!
Why waste your money in the stock market? It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock - Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won't inspire anyone! With the purchase of historic documents such as this world-class WWI poster, it doesn't matter what happens to the economy, you'll still have the poster, which can be displayed and enjoyed. The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. Unless civilization itself crashes then this piece will hold its value, and, if civilization itself crashes - Who'll care about money? This poster is definitely
ECONOMY PROOF!
