Printed in 1946 on a thick cardboard stock. Excellent condition, vibrant green and reds. 22 x 14 inches. NO paper loss, no tears. These are images of the exact poster you will receive. The poster shows a careless man incorrectly holding a rifle pointing towards another person. The men’s camping gear is sitting outside their car as they prepare to leave. The 1946 NRA gun safety poster, a rare find published by the National Rifle Association of America and printed on light cardboard, is a vintage piece of artwork designed to promote firearm safety among hunters. This image features a man with a target pistol shooting at a target on a fence. A cow standing behind the fence is jumping into the air. The 1946 NRA poster is part of a series of safety and instructional posters issued by the National Rifle Association (NRA) to promote firearm safety and training.
