New York: War Resisters League, [n.d. but early 1970s]. Original lithographed poster, with text and illustration offset printed in three colors on white stock, measuring 43cm x 56cm (17" x 22"). Light wear to extremities, tiny diagonal crease to lower right corner, with some faint foxing at upper margin and on verso; Near Fine. One of seven posters created by Averill (1949-1993) for the War Resisters League. The central image features a childlike figure decked out in military garb from various eras, standing in front of a chalkboard bearing a quote from Eugene Debs. A charming poster with a strong anti-conscription message. OCLC notes a single holding at Northwestern, though we find others at LC and the OMCA. 83038.
