WORLD WAR I WOMEN''S PATRIOTIC POSTERS (3)

Good lot of three World War I posters, each prominently advertising or promoting women's efforts throughout the war, including: Full-color "United War Work" poster, 20 x 30 in., showing a "Salvation Army Lassie" holding a plate of donuts behind a smiling American soldier, beneath the lettering: "Oh boy, that's the Girl!". The bottom-left portion bears the symbol of the Committee on Public Information, Division on Pictorial Publicity, and the bottom-right corner bears the publication line of Sackett and WIlhelms Corporation in New York. Ragged edges, notable loss to the corners, else very good. WITH: Full-color "War Savings Stamps" poster, 20 x 30 in., showing Joan of Arc with a beam of light behind her and holding a sword to the sky, bearing the exhortation "Joan of Arc saved France� Women of America Save Your Country. Buy War Savings Stamps�" The bottom left is signed in print by artist William Coffin, while the bottom-right bears the publication details of the United States Printing and Lithograph Company in New York. The bottom-left corner is labeled "S-1". Very ragged right edge, with notable loss and a 3 in. split to the top edge. WITH: Dual-color YMCA "War Work Week" poster, 20 x 30 in., titled "YOUNG WOMEN! Help the Boys in the Service!", showing a young woman with her palm outstretched, balancing an overseas YMCA station on her hand, above the text: "�The Red Triangle 'Hut' is the soldier's social center�Give to keep it going�" The bottom edge bears the label of the Allied Printing Trades Council, and the bottom-right corner is labeled "No. 14". The edges have been reinforced by tape on the verso, one 2 in. jagged tear at the center, just good condition.
