    Please Study The Detailed Photos!
    Photos may not be 100% accurate but I strive to get them as close as possible and will tell you if they are off in any way.
    For instance:
    This poster's photos are for the most part a good match color wise but my lighting set up cast a very light shadow on the top part of the full photo you see of the poster, but the color is uniform with no shadow!
    Also one of the days I took photos the sky was blue & the sun shinning and thus a blue shade is seen on the images mainly the back of the poster shots.
    Any questions please ask!
    This poster
    was purchased along with many others at a Bradford Vermont Library Liquidation Sale years back where these were all stored in an upstairs closet since WW1 & have along with many others been stored in flat files ever since!
    I am in the process of liquidating my large unique collection of WW1 & WW2 Art Posters along with many other collectible items including Antique & Vintage Paper Collectibles, Art & a Vast Collection of Art/Picture Frames along with a Large Assortment of Various Historic & Collectible Items of Interest.
    Presently I am concentrating on The WW1 Collection mainly but not exclusively & have several up for sale now; and they seem to be finding new homes at a steady basis.
    So I will try to keep posting new ones so you may want to keep an eye on my postings if you are a collector or investor of World War One & Two Art Posters.
