"Read to Win the War" - American Library Association WWI Poster T-shirt

"The Camp Library is Yours" reads this Library War Service poster from the American Library Association that was created during World War 1. The subheading reads "Read to Win the War" followed by a small paragraph explaining the service. Posters like this were posted in camps behind the lines during the war, to let the soldiers know there were free books for them to take and read during their service. The artwork depicts a soldier sitting against a wall reading a book.. The original artwork was done by artist C. B. Falls. The poster was originally published in 1917. A great gift for any librarian or war history aficionado!

I digitally restore the raw scans of these 100+ year old posters and make them much more suitable for printing, but I do my best to keep them as close to original as possible.
