1942 Poster with Ford GP **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s an unusual poster.

“Original poster , 40 x 28 , folded for mailing ( has multiple folds throughout and the folded up size is 7 x 10 , which would have originally been placed in an envelope and mailed by the government to the recipient ) , overall condition is excellent with some wear at several places at the folds , shows an early Jeep with 4 soldiers wearing early style army helmets , this spectacular image was probably originally created by Walter Richards in 1941 and this poster was printed by the Division of Information , Office for Emergency Management , Washington DC in 1942 . This information was obtained from the Internet : “Walter DuBois Richards made at least two posters during World War II. Throughout his nearly century-long life and the seven decades his career expanded, he was affectionately known as Wally. His first published works as an Illustrator can be traced back as early as the mid 1920’s in Rocky River, Ohio, when he wasn’t yet 20 years of age. They were something akin to doodles throughout the pages of his High School Senior Yearbook. As far as I know, his last published work as an artist was in 1987 for a Historic Preservation stamp of Timberline Lodge in Mt. Hood, Oregon.””
