- Support. I've always liked this poster. Is the "US ARMY 660 MARKET STREET" 'stamp' part of the poster itself though? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:49, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

- @Diliff: Looks like it. It's in the original TIF, and in this version. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 12:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
- Right, but I guess what I was wondering is whether it's fundamentally part of the poster design, or whether it was stamped on this particular copy of the poster. Hard to know if we don't have multiple sources of it... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 13:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'm guessing the ones (or just some?) in San Francisco. One of the other images we have has a different stamp. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 13:39, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support That this was used only adds to its impressive preservation. I don't mind a little bit of history on my images. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 10:08, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
