" BE A MARINE " POSTER APPROX. 25"X35" MINT COND.

DESCRIPTION

POSTERS HAVE BEEN USED TO RALLY THE GENERAL POULATION SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OUR COUNTRY. DURING COLONIAL TIMES THE POSTERS WERE CALLED BROADSIDES. THEY WERE USED IN A LIMITED WAY DURING THE CIVIL WAR, BUT WERE STILL USED FOR MANY THINGS. POSTERS STARTED TO BE USED ON A LARGER SCALE DURING WW I. THE POSTERS KNOWN AS WAR POSTERS REALLY BEGAN DURING THIS PERIOD AND POSTERS SAW A GREAT EXPANSION OF USE DURING WW II. WAR POSTERS OR SO CALLED MILITARY POSTERS ARE STILL BEING PRODUCED AND USED TODAY BUT NOT ON SUCH A SCALE AS SEEN DURING WW II WHERE THEY WERE USED TO INFORM AND AROUSE PATRIOTISM IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE GOVERNMENT CALLED ON MANY FAMOUS ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATERS, INCLUDING WALT DISNEY STUDIOS, AS WELL AS ADVERTISING EXPERTS TO DESIGN THE HUNDREDS OF POSTERS THAT WERE PRODUCED DURING WW II. TODAY THEY ARE PRODUCED BY PRIVATE BUSINESS COMPANIES.

POSTERS HAVE ALSO BEEN USED TO A GREAT SUCCESS TO ADVERTISE MOVIES, COMING EVENTS AND LIVE SHOWS AND CONCERTS, AS WELL AS SPORTING EVENTS. THEY ARE STILL USED TODAY SUCCESSFULLY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY OTHER MEDIAS AVAILABLE FOR ADVERTISING.

THIS POSTER, TITLED " BE A MARINE " IS A REPRINT OF THE ORIGINAL POSTER. MANY OF THE ORIGINAL WW I AND WW II POSTERS ARE DEMANDING HUNDREDS, AND IN SOME CASES, THE RARE ONES IN TOP CONDITION ARE DEMANDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
