The full text on the poster is:

When you look up The Jewish Welfare Board on Wikipedia,
this poster is featured as the key image that represents this group. It is that iconic and well known
It was kept in a clear plastic sleeve with foam core board backing. So it is in excellent vintage condition overall for it's age
It is also hard to find in this condition
Thanks for looking!
