An absolutely incredible United States War Bond poster from 1942 featuring Santa on his sleight with two of his reindeer. This piece is nothing short of “WOW”! It was recently discovered, folded up, and put away in southern Virginia.This is why the color is so great. War bonds posters were used during World War I and World War II to help raise money for the war effort. Printed on a thin paper (slightly thicker than tissue paper), it is miraculous to find this piece still intact. It was meant to survive the Christmas season and then to be discarded. It does have a few small tears across the top and some very minor loss on some seams. Regardless, it is an impressive piece! The poster itself is 60″ tall and 40″ wide with the frame adding an additional 2″ on all four sides. For conservation purposes, we used a plexiglass, UV filter material with acid free board.
Currently, it is resting on a pair of cast iron andirons from the later 19th century.
Price: $2295
