This is an original 1943 WWII war propaganda poster asking U.S. citizens to give war bonds for Christmas. Set against the backdrop of a nation at war, this evocative piece illustrates a Christmas tree adorned with war bonds as ornaments, symbolizing sacrifice and support for the troops. Beneath the tree lie wrapped presents, reinforcing the idea that the best gift that year was one that helped the war effort and promised future returns.
With its heartfelt message, this poster encouraged Americans to channel their holiday generosity into an act of patriotism—purchasing war bonds that would not only aid the troops overseas but also serve as a wise financial investment. The bold "Buy War Bonds" slogan prominently displayed drives home the call to action, urging Americans to take part in this collective effort.
Condition: Poster is in very fine condition, issued folded but lays flat without linen-backing. Some minor imperfections such a pin holes are apparent but confined to the margins. Poster displays well with exceptional eye-appeal.
