American Propaganda Posters

8th September 2012

The Antiques Trade Gazette (ATG) review of the American propaganda posters sold at Swann's sale on 1st August in New York included highlights of these record-making prices: 

"Fred Spear's Enlist led the sale, setting a new record for the artist at auction. This extremely rare 1915 poster...published in response to the sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat which claimed 128 American lives...sold at the top end of the estimate for $19,000...
Also selling for a record auction price was James Montgomery Flagg's...powerful 1917 propaganda poster I Want You for US Army which sold for almost twice the estmate to make $11,000...
Other American war posters included...This Is The Enemy dated to 1942, which fetched $6,500, You Are Wanted by US Army c.1918 which took $4,600 and Keep US Flying! I Buy War Bonds 1943 which got away at $3,800."

The full article can be read on page 42 in the ATG Issue 2056 dated 8th September 2012.
