An extremely rare WWI poster by the American Library Association for sending books to the Yanks in Germany. Specifically asking for citizens on the homefront to take good live fiction books to their local library for immediate shipment overseas. They specifically ask for “good” books as many would send their less than desirable books which quickly became a problem for the boys fighting for freedom. RARE, we only know of 3 other example of this poster in existence. One in Poster House NYC, one in the Library of Congress and one more in a private collection.
Measures 28x33”
Condition- excellent. A few very small tears, none into image, repaired with acid free archival tape on verso.
