Date: 1918 Artist: Giles, Howard Size (in): 54” x 39.5” Size (cm): 135 x 98.75 Condition: B- Linen backed: Yes This large dramatic poster was produced in 1918 by the artist Howard Giles for the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. The stirring image shows American Doughboys in a bayonet charge against the fiery tumult of battle with the bold tag line NOTHING STOPS THESE MEN, LET NOTHING STOP YOU. Old Glory is seen billowing in the wind high atop the chaotic scene. Donating half your paycheck to buy war bonds seems like a small price to pay compared to the hellish war these men must endure for the cause of freedom. This vintage original poster has been professionally backed to linen with some expert touchup and repair as needed completed during the linen backing process. This includes repair to a long tear and small bit of replaced loss. A faint trace of staining appears near the lower left corner. The linen backing margins have been cropped closely to the edges
