Please note: This item was photographed under glass, and thus some photos depict unavoidable light reflection which distorts both color and condition. Coloring of poster is rich and is uniform throughout with consistent color and tone. Please view all photos for true representation of fine condition. Offered is a fabulous and seldom found World War I poster that honors the service of the African-American male Army Calvary soldier. Tastefully rendered, this 17" x 20" paper lithographed poster on cardboard depicts a World War I African-American Calvary soldier bidding farewell to his proud girlfriend/wife as his regiment marches forward off to war in the background. This rarely found poster is entitled, "COLORED MAN IS NO SLACKER". It was published in 1918 by S.G. Renesch of Chicago (thus printed in lower left hand corner). The poster remains in its original, black-painted, wooden frame with glass, with original nails holding the poster in place in the back. The poster remains in very fine condition for its 90 years of age, showing some subtle wrinkling of paper to the lower 1/5th of the poster, likely the result of subjection to dampness, although, please note, that NO water staining is present. This poster is a credit to the service of the many African-American men who so faithfully served and died to protect the liberty of the United States of America. A must-have addition to one's Black Memorabilia collection! |
