anton67 Posted June 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2018 I picked up this framed poster. Wondering whether it could be original WWII era or not. It came framed and I cannot remove it. The thing that to me says reproduction is the size. It measures approx 10 1/4" X 6.5" (just the poster itself not the frame or matting). The thing that says to me that it may be an original of some sort is that you can see where it was folded in two places. I thought who would fold a repro? THoughts would be appreciated.

MastersMate Posted June 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 11, 2018 There was a posting somewhere on the forum about a year ago describing the inspection of the poster. Looking under a magnifying glass and seeing just how the pigment/ink is distributed. Is it in little dots or pixellated.. Be worth finding the post, it was very informative about old poster printing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted June 11, 2018 It is really small for a poster. Maybe it is some sort of leaflet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Jerry Posted June 18, 2018 Share #8 Posted June 18, 2018 I know most of the posters came in different sizes, I know most were folded. I have not seen one this small, but that doesn't mean that they didn't have them. Can you get a macro close up -or better yet under loupe shot of the printing? That might tell us something more solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmargulies Posted June 19, 2018 Share #9 Posted June 19, 2018 I can’t tell you if this is original based off the photos, but the UCSG re-released this and another poster right around 9/11. I believe it was relatively large format though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
