C. B. Falls (1874-1960) · U.S. Marine Corps recruiting, 1917
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

What it is
A colour lithograph C. B. Falls drew for Marine Corps recruiting in 1917, 71 by 54 cm; the Library holds two further copies of the design.
Why it matters
Going over meant going over the top of the trench, and the headline spells out the yell that went with it. Falls, a member of the Decorative Designers, is known for his First World War posters, Books Wanted among them.
What to notice
A Marine cheering as he raises his rifle and bayonet, his yell spelled out in the headline.
A war cry, spelled out for the recruiting office.
