Historic 1942 Japanese Internment Order Broadside Poster "NOTICE" - "Civilian Exclusion Order No. 41"
1942-Dated World War II, Official U.S. Army Japanese Internment Broadside Poster "NOTICE", "Civilian Exclusion Order No. 41", measuring 22" x 14", Choice Crisp Extremely Fine.
This original, historic (and sad) boldly Printed black typeset Broadside Poster was issued by the U.S. Army in 1942. It is entitled "Notice. Headquarters Western Defense Command and Fourth Army, Presidio of San Francisco, California, May 5, 1942. Civilian Exclusion Order No. 41," by Lt. Gen. J.L. DeWitt, at San Francisco, being an announcement regarding Japanese Internment, in 1942. John L. DeWitt administered the Japanese internment program. This Broadside is a list of the four major points, under Order No. 41, basically excluding from military locations and including Japanese "aliens", reading in part:
"... persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien..." from the military Presidio portion of San Francisco. Any such person found in the area on or after May 11, 1942, will be liable to the criminal penalties provided by Public Law No. 503, 77th Congress, ... and alien Japanese will be subject to immediate apprehension and internment."
In good condition, with light toning around the outer edges and a minor crease at the very center of the left edge. We have previously sold Order No. 99 in our EAHA Auction, May 10, 2007, Lot 610. at $1,888. which was graded only Very Good. This example is very crisp being printed on the proper heavy card stock having light even age tone since originally printed in 1942.
Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the secretary of war to designate military zones within the U.S. from which "any or all persons may be excluded." The order was not targeted at any specific group, but it became the basis for the mass relocation and internment of some 110,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry, including both citizens and non-citizens of the United States.
