Lot 1829
Lot of Two "Invest" Posters. Lot of two.
1). Anon. "Invest" circa 1917. Size: 56 x 21". Printer: The U.S. Printing and Lithograph Company, "V-339" printed at bottom left corner. Folds with some separation, adhesive residue and tape scattered throughout poster, paper loss at bottom edge, in center of "S", at top left, minor assorted tears, 8 x 2" area of discoloration in dark blue of poster. Brilliant colors, unfortunate damage. Long, banner-look poster features the image of a soldier and a sailor at either end of the word "Invest!", they lean casually atop the letters. This is an uncommon poster and, despite the poor condition, would be a nice addition to a collection.
2). Anon. "Invest" circa 1918. Size: 19½ x 29½". Printer: Strobridge Litho, Cincinnati, "3-C" printed at bottom left. One 2" tear at left edge, one abrasion at bottom, crease resulting in 12" printing flaw. Brilliant color, very good condition.
Two great posters. We have not seen the large poster before and, in spite of its damage (some of which is reparable), it is a striking image and very desirable. The bold "V" image on the second poster is very direct and striking.
Estimated Value $100 - 200.
