Martha Sawyers
Original Buy Bonds Every Payday vintage World War 2 vintage poster

1944

About the Item

Original World War 2 vintage poster: YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS EITHER! BUY BONDS EVERY PAYDAY. Linen-backed, fine condition, ready to frame. Great condition and fabulous image. The image is a close-up of a machine gunner shooting down an enemy airplane. One of the few milltary war posters created by a woman, Martha Sawyers. Original US Government issued World War 2 posters we all folded so that they could be mailed out across the country. The fold marks, since they all were folded, are not considered a defect. The fold marks are normally touched up during linen backing to make them disappear. Linen backing on USA posters after World War 1 is necessary because the paper used for printing was normally wood pulp paper that falls apart, just like your daily newspaper. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is professional acid-free conservation mounted and in very good condition. Shipping the poster without a frame saves you excess shipping costs and also allows you to use conservation clear UV glass; which is fragile and has a high chance of breaking during shipment. Also, a brown tone frame is a great accent idea for this image. If you choose a mat, look at dark blue to contrast.

'Counselor at Crime' original 1973 movie poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Shock and awe! Original Counselor at Crime vintage movie poster. 'Good with the Law, Better with a Gun! Paper, original theater fold. Very good condition without any paper loss or tears. 1973 When the godson of San Francisco's crime lord asks permission to leave "the business," Don Antonio (Martin Balsam) agrees, but reluctantly. Such behavior by either one is a violation of the code, and a bloody mob war breaks out. It is only through the strong support of his family connections in Sicily that Don Antonio is able to survive the melee and come out on top. Aghast at the situation he has caused, the godson (Tomas Milian) becomes his leader's "consigliere," or Counselor at Crime. This Italian movie was filmed in English in San Francisco, California, and Palermo, Sicily. This is a man-cave vintage poster, one that you very seldom see or have the chance to purchase. Printed in black and white with red to grab your attention. Italian movie in English. The poster was originally folded, like all early movie posters, so that it could be sent to the movie theater.

Untitled (Between C & D)
By David Wojnarowicz
Located in New York, NY
In this offset poster, printed in collaboration with the Lower East Side literary magazine, "Between C & D," David Wojnarowicz confronts and denounces violence against members of the LGBT community. Cynthia Carr discusses this poster in her biography, "Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz." She relates the episode of when Wojnarowicz became estranged from collaborator Marion Scemama during the production of this piece and inked out her name on the copies of the poster in his possession. This is a copy from his estate. Between C & D (1983–1990) was a Lower East Side quarterly literary magazine edited by Joel Rose and Carherine Texier. Though a geographical reference to the blocks between Avenue C and Avenue D in New York City's East Village neighborhood, “Between C & D” has also been suggested to mean “between coke and dope,” giving an indication of the publication's transgressive content and ethos. The magazine's actual tagline was “Sex. Drugs. Danger. Violence. Computers.” It was printed on fanfold computer paper, sold in a plastic bag, and featured original artwork on each binding. Contributors included Kathy Acker, Dennis Cooper, Gary Indiana, Tama Janowitz...
