Original Howard Chandler Christy WW1 WWI Poster "Clear the Way" 4th Liberty Loan

Description

This is a striking original Howard Chandler Christy WWI poster for the Fourth Liberty Loan, "CLEAR THE WAY, BUY BONDS". Measuring 20" inches by 30" inches and done by Forbes in Boston, also marked 10-B in lower left corner. Poster is fully intact, but somewhat brittle and shows typical wear for a 100 year old poster. Condition issues include one approximately 5 inch tear on the left edge above Christy's name (clean tear that is hardly noticeable until you pick the poster up, won't see once linen-backed or framed), several smaller tears (no more than one inch each), some paper loss on the corners, chipping on the bottom right edge, small pinholes on each corner, and a strip of paper loss on the right edge from tape, likely from prior use in the war. Please also see photos for details regarding condition. Poster has exceptional eye appeal and is ready for framing and/or linen backing. Good chance to get an iconic poster for a great price. Happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos upon request. Ships securely and flat with USPS Priority Mail.
