Date: 1915
Size: 31.75 x 47.5 in (81 x 121 cm)
Condition: A+, newly linenbacked.
Artist: Maurice Neumont, 1868-1930, Born in Paris in September of 1868, was one of the leading proponents of French patriotic propaganda producing a wide range of illustrations and posters. This poster is amongst his notable early works to raise funds for the French Army.
Description: Excellent condition and much sought after poster showing a classic pose of a French soldier throwing an early-style hand grenade. This type clearly showing a pin with a wire attached to the soldier’s wrist. At this point in the war the grenades could be as lethal to the thrower as the receiver! Beautiful artwork and great piece of history. Printer Devambez, Paris in bottom left margin.
