The late George Theofiles, my mentor in vintage posters and the first ever dealer in the market, describes the “Enlist” poster by Fred Spear as "Without a doubt the rarest and most elusive of war posters produced in the United States". This poster references the sinking of the Lusitania, when a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the ship which resulted in the loss of almost 1,200 people, including 123 Americans.
Measures 27x40.75”
Condition- very good, mild creasing in some folds, tiny bit of flaking bottom right corner, conservation mounted on chartex.
