fstop61 Posted December 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2012 I saw this poster on EBay-made an offer and it was accepted. The artwork is by Howard Chandler Christy (who is more known for his WWOne art than WWTwo). The poster, dated 1943 (printed 1944), measures 25" x 38" had a very small printing of 5000. I'll have it restored and then I guess I'll flip it. I sure hope the seller includes the horses and ducks! Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAF_Collection Posted December 30, 2012 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2012 Very nice! I've been keeping an eye open for one of those.... Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstop61 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted December 30, 2012 Very nice! I've been keeping an eye open for one of those.... Matt. Thanks Matt, that particular poster has always been cost prohibitive for my wallet. When I saw it on EBay the price wasn't so bad. I figured the price that I would pay for 3-4 average posters I could buy a really good one. ( I can't believe what the brick and mortar galleries are selling it for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Ratio Regum Posted January 2, 2013 Share #9 Posted January 2, 2013 Wow! Thanks for posting that; I have a miniaturized, poorly-done copy of that print, and it is nice to see the detail in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fstop61 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted January 5, 2013 My favorite mailman delivered my Christy poster today-aside from some minor edge wear it's in very, very good condition. I'll be sending it out for restoration ASAP. Can't believe no one beat me to it-on EBay for a couple of days. Thanks again for looking and no the horses and ducks weren't included...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
