poster draws a connection between WWI and the Civil War, depicting a haunting, almost post-apocalyptic view of New York Harbor after a bombing. The Statue of Liberty lies in ruins, German bombers fly overhead, and the sky appears to be aflame.
The text is from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
This is an original poster and it has been linen-backed for conservation. It will be shipped unframed, ready to be framed.
Image size: 28" x 41"
Shipping: $20. Will be shipped via UPS. Please allow one week shipping.
About the artist
Joseph Pennell (1857-1926) was born in Pennsylvania, and worked and studied in Europe for most of his career. He was a contemporary of James Whistler and William Morris. Pennell said of this poster design that it, "must appeal to the people—the people gorged with comics, and stuffed with movies, and fattened on photographs."

Awesome product.
I love wearing my T-shirt honoring my Dad who was wounded the day after seeing that beautiful flag flying on Iwo Jima. As others say, Most people never meat their hero’s, I was raised by mine. Proud daughter of a proud Marine, my father said he made sure I was born on 11/10!!!

Great T-shirt: Flag raising on Mount Suribachi - 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima
My father-in-law - Allen M. Barrett - was a decorated Marine 2nd Lt. on Iwo Jima, a great man and true exemplar of the Greatest Generation. When I saw the shirt, I knew I had to buy one for my brother-in-law and me. I cannot wait to wear it. Semper Fi, Allen.
