AEF DOUGHBOY 1918 "HUN OR HOME" GOV'T BONDS POSTER, PATRICK RALEIGH. Very scarce and seldom seen original antique military poster created by renowned artist Patrick Henry Raleigh. This poster is in original condition.

And has NEVER been mounted, shrink-wrapped, adhered to a board or displayed in 108 years! Published by Chicago: Edwards & Deutsch Litho. The USA entered the First World War in 1917. It established a system for the general population to make financial contributions to the war effort in the form of Liberty Bonds, the equivalent of the British War Bonds.

Tales of (largely unfounded) atrocities, such as rape, child murder and mutilation and abuse of soldier's bodies, were behind many of the images for such posters. In this one, the German soldier, identifiable by his spiked helmet, looms up like an ape toward a female figure. The imminence of horror is intensified by the fact that she is clutching a baby. You don't see these very often!

Being 107 years old, World War 1 posters are extremely fragile, it is amazing any survived, but this one did. Size is 20 inches by 30 inches. Please review the photos carefully, they are part of the description.

The last photo shows a very small tear on one corner. Please be aware that this item is an original military antique and may have small defects or signs of age. However, I strive to provide clear and honest descriptions and photographs for every item. Please contact me if you need any additional photos/information.
