Description: Original 1918 WW1 Poster BE PATRIOTIC Sign Your Country's Pledge To Save Food 20x30 The poster is mounted on a thick, semi-stiff canvas backing adhered to a thick paper. It's pliable and would lay flat when framed although it curls at the ends when at rest as seen in the photos. The good news is, the poster has no tears or holes. The bad news, it's mounted and can't be removed. On balance, the poster has been preserved in good condition and is great for framing and display. Note that there are also water stains in the upper and lower left-hand corners.
