Original "Back Them Up!" vintage British WWII poster

c. 1942

About the Item

Original WWII poster: A British "Commando" raid on a German-held port in Norway. Back Them Up! Linen backed and ready to frame. Printed in England by Fosh and Cross Ltd London. British War poster number: 51-2400 British soldiers carrying bayonets descend from a hillside to the village and port. Explosions and smoke light up the night. Smoke and fire in the distance billowing into the sky. Note that the borders of the poster have a slight light yellow + light brown tone and not the cream tone of USA posters. The military poster was folded and the fold marks were touched up during linen backing. WWII military posters were folded so that they could be mailed, and this is NOT considered a defect. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.

  • Original "Children's Year" vintage poster. The health of the child is the power
    Located in Spokane, WA
    Original "Children's Year" Health of the Child is Power of the Nation vintage poster. Archival linen backed original 1919 horizontal. Lathrop, the Children's Bureau's first director, soon commissioned several studies to investigate the causes and conditions of infant mortality. She wanted hard data to dispel the notions that child death was inevitable or an act of God, and to prove that infant mortality was not about genetics but rather environment. Lathrop's research showed that children often died from infections and conditions that could be prevented. To spread the facts, the Bureau published a series of advice pamphlets on infant care. Children's Bureau under Lathrop created a powerful, lasting legacy in the U.S. — the idea that every child has a right to a childhood. "That every kid has a right to dependency," she says. "That they don't have to support themselves, and that the government is the parent of last resort if everything else fails." Rare horizontal poster...
