Description: A very good condition poster with a banner added to the bottom that was originally with the poster. It's important to keep these historical articles accurate, and it's rare to find a poster with the bottom banner included. This poster features a French "Poilu" returning home on leave and grabbing up his daughter. A gesture so human and moving. The poster asks you to subscribe to the third loan, for the France that fights, and for those who every day grow bigger.
