About the Poster: A highly detailed, beautifully printed and spectacular poster for a series of bonds which were designed to support the Swedish defense forces. (And in case you're curious, Wikipedia tells us that "Despite strong pro-German sentiment both in the Swedish nobility and in Swedish political circles, Sweden did not enter the war on the German side. Instead, Sweden retained armed neutrality and continued to trade with both the Entente Powers and the Central Powers.")

In very good overall condition with some minor edgewear (please see photos), we think this poster would be lovely in any room of your house or office. less
