What it is
A colour lithograph Milton Herbert Bancroft drew for the U.S. Navy Recruiting Station in 1917, 103 by 67 cm.
Why it matters
It was made for the recruiting stations, and the bugle gives the call in two words. The Library of Congress's conservators treated the sheet in 1973.
What to notice
A sailor blowing a bugle.
