Six Patriotic Posters Cards (Dover Postcards) Paperback – November 1, 1990

This is a surprisingly nice collection. Contained in this set of six postcards are:(1) World War II poster "7th WAR LOAN. NOW -- ALL TOGETHER" (Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima) by C. C. Beall, after the February 23, 1945 photograph by Joe Rosenthal;(2) World War I poster "I WANT YOU FOR THE U.S. ARMY" (shown on the cover) by James Montgomery Flagg, July 6, 1916;(3) World War I poster "IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT! JOIN THE MARINES" (showing a half-length portrait of a woman in a military uniform, and trench warfare scene with troops carrying the U.S. flag and the flag of the Marines) by Howard Chandler Christy, 1915;(4) World War I poster "GEE! I WISH I WERE A MAN. I'D JOIN THE NAVY" (showing a young woman -- a "Christy Girl," an idealized version of American femininity of the time -- wearing a Navy uniform) by Howard Chandler Christy, circa 1915;(5) World War II poster "GIVE IT YOUR BEST!" (showing a 48-star U.S. flag) from the Office of War Information, 1945; and(6) World War I poster "U.S.A. BONDS - Third Liberty Loan Campaign - BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA," (inspired by the slogan "Every Scout to Feed a Soldier" and showing a Boy Scout on one knee in front of Lady Liberty) by Joseph Christian Leyendecker, 1917.These are tear-out postcards in a small book. I like the fact that they are an appropriate size to send with U.S. postcard postage; larger postcards require U.S. letter postage. For best results, tear carefully and then trim the perforations off with an X-Acto or similar cutting tool.

Standard issue vintage war postcards. Cardstock is of okay quality - not flimsy, but not super sturdy either. It was an okay purchase, no complaints.

Great value for the price. Cards are not very sturdy but okay. Images are interesting and nostalgic.

Exactly the cards I wanted, really like them - danger, the pre-perforated tear lines aren't great. I recommend using scissors.

Not bad for the price. IT has six postcard sized photos of posters. The photos are colorful and good quality images to use to show students.

I chose these cards because I participate in an exchange program across the globe and thought that patriotic cards would be appropriate. These cards are excellent quality and are thicker than your typical postcards.

Nice old vintage cards with posters from both world wars!

I did expect a little better quality than what I got... some of them were set crooked. But they work for my purposes.
