This is also the large poster measuring 40” x 28.75” and has no rips, rates, holes or pin marks/tac marks, but it was folded as everyone’s were. Color is still great and it’s been laid on this cardboard and surrounded by plastic wrap since 1981 I was told. If you would like the poster shipped in a TV box so that it isn’t refolded again you can pay a flat fee of $25 for a TV box and I will pay for shipping(plmk at end of auction). It supports the unity of nations and arms of the allied forces combatting the German and Italian armies. The imagery depicts the unified cannons exploding with their targets within the Axis area of control. It is a poster to encourage increased patriotism among all Americans both at home and in the battle overseas.
