Original WWI poster — "Books wanted for our men in camp and over there" — Framed, with museum-grade acrylic

This World War I poster entitled, "Books wanted for our men in camp and 'over there.' Take your gifts to the public library." Created by Charles Buckles (C.B.) Falls in 1918.

In the lower left-hand corner you'll see what I assume was pasted into the inside of every donated book.

Of the many WWI posters I’ve seen, I especially like the composition and message, bringing forward another aspect of life in the trenches “over there.” In a brushed aluminum frame with a museum-grade, non-glare, UV-protecting acrylic for glazing.
