Description

Poster in very good condition originally, no sign of restoration. Canvas and hooped in the 70s. It is one of the many posters produced to raise funds for the Great War. The pointing finger is iconic, often recurring in other “imperative” posters such as the well-known “I want you” of which, however, we only have the exemplary product for the Second World War.
