Original WWII poster — 1943 "Americans will always fight for liberty"

Updated at 9:20 pm: This has been sold.

Makes a direct link between the Revolutionary War and the fight against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan). In this image, a column of American GIs marches past a ragged line of Continental Army soldiers at Valley Forge, over whom General George Washington’s Headquarters Flag waves.

Artist Bernard Perlin (1918-2014), the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, used American soldiers as models for the painting from which this poster was produced. A larger version of the poster hung in Union Station in Washington, D.C., during the Second World War. 

The poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition, with no rips or tears, minimal folds, and vibrant colors.

Source: Museum of the American Revolution

Size: 28" x 40"

Shipping: $20. Will be shipped via UPS. Please allow one week shipping.

In 1938, he was awarded the Kosciusko Foundation Award to study in Poland.
