About the Item
Original United Nations 1945 vintage poster. We the Peoples of the United Nations"
The opening phrase "We the peoples of the United Nations.", echoing the preamble of the United States Constitution, was suggested by US congressman and Conference delegate Sol Bloom. The preambulatory phrase "In Larger Freedom" became the title of a UN reform proposal by the seventh Secretary-General, Kofi Annan.
The leading role occupied by the United States following World War II grew through the creation of the United Nations in 1945. Meeting in San Francisco, delegates from 50 countries created a charter for this new international organization, founded to prevent the outbreak of another world war. Poland later signed on, bringing the founding number of countries to 51. With the UN Charter agreed upon, the United Nations formally existed on October 24, 1945.
The UN Charter mandates the UN and its member states to maintain international peace and security, uphold international law, achieve "higher standards of living" for their citizens, address "economic, social, health, and related problems," and promote "universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion."
This original poster was. Issued rolled and NOT folded. This poster is not linen backed but in excellent condition. There are no tears and no missing paper. Some paper foxing is on the outer edges, primarily the right side. The mark on the right is not a tear but a printer’s alignment mark.
The image shows the faces of people from around the world. The center blue image of a globe that you look into and see the flags and the United Nations. The wording along the bottom reads, “determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…”

"And his interest in London has not been restricted to the Thames. Seeing the beautiful, where other men might be discouraged by dullness, he has taken his subject, now in the little cheap shop opening a low window upon the street, now in the forgotten church hidden away in a lonely square. And Chelsea Rags, the Shops of Chelsea, the Drury Lane, as well as The Butcher's Dog, are impressions of vague Rembrandtesque interiors where figures, grim or graceful, peer from out deep shadows— shops as lovely in his prints as the halls of a Veronese, or the palaces of a Claude."
