Schiffers (1902-1976). Schiffers was commissioned to create several posters warning against venereal disease aimed at the U.S serviceman overseas. Here Schiffer shows a soldier chained to the oversized letters V D preventing him from joining his troop sailing for home. The artwork is clear and direct. In the post-World War II era, the piece sent a message to prevent relations with foreigners. In today's world, these pieces are quite humorous and speak to a different time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
