Delivery Pixel Perfect Poster Print of Goodbye Old Man - Soldier and dying horse during WWI
Poster Prints are printed on superior archival poster paper for maximum colour and vivid imagery. The thinner Poster Paper can be a more affordable option for large prints
Goodbye Old Man is a striking image of a soldier bidding farewell to his fatally injured horse. Goodbye Old Man was commissioned by the Blue Cross in 1916 to raise money to help horses on active service.
The artist is Fortunino Matania and it is one of his most famous war-time illustrations. Fortunino Matania (1881 - 1963) was born in Naples.
During and after the war, his work adorned many a history book. During the 1st World War Matania mainly worked for the British magazine The Sphere as their star illustrator, usually producing one full page illustration or more per weekly issue.
He was also employed by the British government and commissioned by individual British regiments. He visited the front several times which allowed him to view wartime conditions at first hand and talk with soldiers about their experiences. From sketches and memory he could then finish a painting, often within a few days

excellent service and product
Excellent, pictures, excellent service
My first order and happy with the delivery and product. Will consider further shopping at the Media Storehouse. Thanks.
Good quality card, good service. Will use again.
Every picture Ive ordered has arrived on time as promised & well protected. Further, each photograph exceeded my expectations. You folks do an exceptional job. I appreciate what youre doing that accentuates curiosity & a sense of wonder. Keep on evolving.
Media Storehouse had an 1897 map of the British Empire that Ive long used in low resolution in my British Literature course. I wondered if a larger print would be legible and useful, but I took a chance. The map I received is of excellent quality, clear enough to read even the smallest print.
Fast delivery. Good quality print
Prompt despatch and great quality of poster. Well packages and in perfect condition on arrival. Many thanks!
Excellent variety of material available for choice. I was delighted with the card when it arrived - speedily, as promised. My only disappointment was that I had entered text on the card when ordering it online, but the card I received was totally blank.
I had a Quick response, good follow through and the product is very good. I recommend Media Storehouse with thei product.
The print was even more impressive than I thought it would be. It arrived in damaged. And it has enhanced my library.
The poster is on excellent paper with vivid colors. Thank you.
As described. Prompt delivery.
Excellent print, very promptly sent, and well packed.
Nice card quick delivery
Looks exactly like t did on the internet. Ive had it framed and added to me collection of Jester memorabilia.
Delivery was later than day stated so had to make alternative arrangements for collection. Not easy as delivery address is different from mine. Thought toorder more art posters but found there was not much choice in so far as fine art reproductions were concerned.
Very happy with the product and the service
