1991 Authentic Full-Color WWII Mini-Poster IllustrationBACK 'EM UP: BUY EXTRA BONDS (1944) Satisfaction GuaranteedThis is an authentic 1991 reproduction--NOT a recent reproduction This is an original 1991 print of a World War II-era poster depicting Supreme Allied Commander, Four Star General, and 34th United States President. In his hands, he holds a pair of binoculars and a map. In the background, a fraught battle is waged on ground and in the skies. The text reads, “BACK 'EM UP: BUY EXTRA BONDS.” The original poster, designated United States Treasury WFD (War Finance Division) #936, was designed in 1944 by Boris Chaliapin, whose signature appears in the lower-left corner of the image. Chaliapin was a poster designer from New York City. This illustration was published in a well-printed 1991 collection of popular WWII posters, collated and presented by Derek Nelson, acting as civilian editor for Naval Safety Center publications.In Nelson's words"Ike was a natural choice for this 1944 war bond appeal. Although he had little reputation as a battlefield general early in the war, he climbed the military totem pole as a staff specialist or coordinator and was chosen to lead the Anglo-American invasion forces in North Africa in early 1943, linking up with Sir Bernard Montgomery's army to end Axis resistance in that theater and taking 750,000 prisoners." Printed on medium-weight glossy paper, the overall sheet size is approximately 8.25" x 11", and the printed poster (shown in the scan below) is 6 3/5" x 9", with 1" margins all the way around to allow easy matting and framing. There is another image on the reverse of the print. The print is a fine example of 20th century chromolithography, with distinctive saturated solids. It appears to be an offset halftone process, based on the orientation of the matrix and rosette appearance under magnification. It is a very attractive work, and well-printed.These mini poster prints look very nice matted and framed, together or separately. Please check my store for other maps, posters, and natural history or historical art prints perfect for framing or incorporating into other projects. Below is a cropped view of the sheet--without full margins, and without the page number (121), which is printed below the poster. The scan below is a fairly accurate representation of the print.
