Here we have a striking vintage protest poster titled "War Is Hell! Ask The Man Who Fought One." This one is a powerful piece of American history from the Vietnam War era, and packs every once of punch. Check out the solemn-faced soldier in a helmet, with the stark, bold text making a profound anti-war statement. This piece had a specific purpose. Below, the poster details a "Twin Anti-War Parades" event in New York City, which took place on Saturday, April 27th. This poster isn't just a powerful piece of art; it's a historical document capturing the sentiment of a nation grappling with conflict, civil rights, and political dissent.
If you’re a collector of militaria, a history enthusiast, or someone looking for a bold and meaningful piece of political art, you found it. The print shows signs of age, which adds to its authentic vintage character. A rare find for those who appreciate historical ephemera.
The poster comes out of a collector's estate in the Twin Cities. Here’s the text along the bottom.
