Everything old is new again with the prudent message in this WWI poster for gasoline conservation. The bottom text reads, "keep this poster displayed where gas users can not fail to see it", underscoring the importance of gasoline in American life then and through today. While we aren't sure how gasoline was ever used "for washing", many of the advice in this poster is timely. The charming design of the border of this poster harkens to the Arts and Crafts Movement; note the cheeky drips of oil used to frame the bottom edge.

Ray Greenleaf (1877-1950) was an American illustrator who trained at the famed Art Student's League in New York City. He created many WWI posters for the U.S. Government, and also designed camouflage.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
