This particular poster has unusually clear personal provenance. It was purchased by the current owner in England during the 1980s, brought back to the United States and subsequently professionally matted and framed. It remained in the owner's personal collection and hung in her home for many years.

The poster is presented beneath glass with a wide mat and substantial frame, creating a finished piece of wall art measuring approximately 28" W × 38.5" H overall. Its large scale gives the iconic image considerable presence while preserving the character of the vintage British print.

An appealing piece for a collector of vintage posters, British design, WWII ephemera or graphic art—and equally terrific simply as distinctive, ready-to-hang wall décor.
Please note: This is a vintage 1980s British reproduction of the original World War II poster, not a wartime printing.
