Anti-Viet Nam Poster
Item #: NEW-0015875
|
Click image to enlarge
|
This poster measures 29 by 23 inches. There is some wear on this poster so I believe it was actually used. These problems are not visible in the scan so I will describe them. Tears and crumpling at the mid top edge and minor wear to the other part of the top edge. Two inch circular tear at left edge and an inch tear in the right edge. Small tears and crumpling along the bottom edge. There is a light crease line down the whole middle part of the poster, not really a fold. I believe this could be smoothed out in framing. The poster is a satire of a movie named Viet Nam. It shows President Lyndon B Johnson relaxing in a lawn chair with armed soldiers behind him. "Filmed in real blood and guts color", "Price of Admission, Your Son." Hitler is displayed at the top. Will be mailed rolled.

Cold Water Army-Temperance-Circular
Item #: NEW-0013041
|
Click image to enlarge
|
Strangely this blue rag item is not dated but is clearly from the 1850's. This circular was from the Grand Council Cold Water Army of America. The circular advertises a "beautiful picture" of the Hon. J Belton O-Neall, Most Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance" whose hand is resting on the Temperance Pledge. To the left of him "stands Hon Neal Dow, holding in his hands THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW. Following that is a long list of names of men who support the movement including many famous men who are also portrayed in an engraving of "The celebrated artist T H Matteson." The circular is offering this engraving for $5. These terms are on the inside pages, including testimonials for the" beautiful engraving." (I could not find an example on the web but didn't look very long)
Condition: There is a rather large hole at one mid fold and two edge tears. Other separations which appear on the back page. The second scan shows the condition of the stampless cover which is stained. I'm not sure about the cancel but believe it is New York.

What a hoot this 1874 print is. Joan of Arc like figure on horse back, wielding an ax with the barrels of beer, whiskey, gin, brandy, and rum barrels smashed into. Even the horse looks scared. This is not the original frame and will be taken out for easier mailing. I framed it and it is intact, not cut down. There might be a few more small tears but basically this is in great condition.
