What it is
A colour lithograph Harry S. Mueller drew for Army recruiting, printed by the U.S. Army's reproduction plant at Washington Barracks, D.C., in 1919 and numbered A.G.O.R.S. No. 212, 12-8-19.
Why it matters
The field artillery still went by horse in 1919, and the sheet sells the arm in its first three words: adventure and action.
What to notice
Soldiers on horseback with a team of horses pulling a gun.
Horses and a gun, sold as the open road.
