Do Your Duty: Join the U.S. Marines
U.S. Marine Corps recruiting, 1914–1918
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 by an unidentified artist for Marine Corps recruiting between 1914 and 1918.
Why it matters
The line beneath the title asks men to help the Marines defend America on land and sea. The Library of Congress dates the sheet only to the war years, so the Atlas files it at 1918.
What to notice
Marines firing artillery from the deck of a ship.
A land force, firing from the sea.
