Art restoration vintage poster art gallery find: 1918 YMCA Girls in France by Neysa McMein (WW1 Lithograph)

Art restoration vintage poster art gallery treasure: 1918 YMCA Girls in France by Neysa McMein

This rare World War I stone lithograph is an art restoration vintage poster art gallery standout—an original 1918 recruitment image by celebrated illustrator Neysa McMein.

At a commanding 42 1/4" x 28", it brings museum-scale drama to a living room, office, or gallery wall. The palette remains beautifully saturated, and the subject—“One of the Thousand Y.M.C.A. Girls in France”—captures courage and optimism at the Armistice.

Issued for the United War Work Campaign (Nov. 11–18, 1918), this example presents in good, unrestored condition with honest wear: edge tears and handling impressions, tape mends on the back right, a crease at upper right, and a fold at left. An excellent candidate for conservation framing, it will display powerfully as-is and even more so after light professional care.
