This red, white and blue stylized print shows a woman in a toga-style gown in front of a waving flag with a rural scene on the horizon. The words "Cherish Democracy" hug the top edge of the waving flag. 

This art print is inspired by a 1941 poster for a Home Defense Day event at Adelphi College in Garden City, NY. I've made a number of changes to it, including in the colors, crisping up the lines, changing the shape of the flag, and adding the words Cherish Democracy. You can see the "before" and "after" in a picture on this listing. 

What you get:
- A physical print that will be mailed to you. Frame and mat are not included
- You can select from two print sizes: 8 inches wide x 10 inches tall, or 11 inches wide by 14 inches tall. 
- It’s printed with archival inks on high-quality, acid-free fine art paper with a matte finish.  
I partner with a professional printer who specializes in fine art prints. They know how to create gorgeous prints and safely ship them to you. The print may be rolled or shipped flat at the discretion of the printer.

More about the art this is based on: 

 The original poster is called, "Defense!
