All sell !On a trip to the Hudson Valley of New York we came across a collection of early 1940s small run pochoir silkscreen posters created for regional Protestant churches to use as encouragement for their congregations to tithe in the spirit of community, moral improvement, and Dale Carnegie–like self improvement. We have never seen any of these images before and are thrilled to be able to offer them all in a sale format. They mix the bold lines and colors of World War II era modernist propaganda with homespun wisdom and incredible graphic appeal. All produced by the Kelly-Read & Company, Rochester, NY based printers.ITEM: This is a vintage and original 1940s silkscreen on heavy card stock poster print that shows the classic Christmas imagery of the three wisemen following the star of Bethlehem. This inspiring imagery was meant to encourage the viewer to support the church with the not so subtle message, \"May our Gifts express the measure of our appreciation.\" We are fascinated by this piece with its mixture of Americanism and religion as well as the clear graphic connection to secular advertising.Measures 13\" x 21\"CONDITION:Fine condition with soft corners, scattered edge wear, and surface wear from storage. Please use the included images as a conditional guide.Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
