Vintage World War 2 Poster, approx. 22" x 15" . This may be for the Classroom. It highlights the American Junior Red Cross. Nice Mid Century graphics, by  Walter Beach Humphrey (1892–1966- an American artist and illustrator.)  This National fund raising poster shows a diverse group of children with ghosted images of patriotic and historical Revolutionary Leaders passing on the "Bill of Rights" to the children- the future leaders that must help carry on the work of the American Red Cross. A man dressed in a pilgrim's outfit (Governor William Bradford? Miles Standish?)reads a proclamation to him, (The Mayflower Compact?) "We do hold ourselves straightly tied to all care of  each other's good and of the whole by everyone, and so mutually......". Very nice Poster, has age wear and large soft crease as seen in the photos but Hard to Find original WW2 memorabilia. Has some small flaws. Good to Fair Used Condition.

The edges have a few small splits from age/brittleness/wear -2 extend into the picture, one to the left of Ben Franklin's head. Corners are bumped.
