Are You Fond of Horses? U.S. Army Veterinary Corps
Horst Schreck (born 1885) · U.S. Army Veterinary Corps recruiting, 1919
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph Horst Schreck drew for U.S. Army recruiting in 1919, 63 by 49 cm.
Why it matters
The Veterinary Corps promised instruction in the care and treatment of horses, in riding and driving, and in meat and dairy inspection besides, and the sheet closes on Enlist today.
What to notice
A portrait of a horse beside the insignia of the Army Veterinary Corps, with a blank space left for the recruiting officer's address.
A fondness for horses, taken as a qualification.
