This is a great find for both it's age and condition.
"Freedom From Fear" was created for the homefront bond effort by
famous illustrator Norman Rockwell. It states at the top:
Ours...to fight for
At the bottom it reads:
FREEDOM FROM FEAR
This piece was printed by the U.S. Government
Printing Office in 1943. This is OWI Posger #46 distributed by the
OFFICE OF WAR INFORMATION, WASHINGTON DC. It had been folded and
stored for years. The colors and picture are bright. The shape is
good with the exception of a bit of yellowing, some small tears at
the creases, minor tears on the edge not protruding into the actual
poster, a bit of tape on the and some water spots. I would have
this piece linen backed to preserve it for generation.
TThe piece measures approximately 28 1/2 x 40
inches. These WWII posters are becoming increasingly more rare and
and hard to find. The market value of this poster is $700.00. As
one seller stated to me, "these posters were meant for
motivational purposes during the war then thrown away or recycled."
That is why they are becoming more scarce to find.
All items represented are in good condition for
their age, and from a non-smoking environment. This item has been
cared for like the fine piece of art it is, and kept in a gallery
like setting.
