The Posters That Went to War · Over There
He Is Getting Our Country's Signal. Are You? Join the Navy
U.S. Navy recruiting and Navy League Headquarters, 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 unnamed artist, printed by the American Lithograph Co. of New York for Navy recruiting between 1914 and 1918.
Why it matters
The sheet sent its readers to the nearest recruiting station or to Navy League Headquarters. The Library of Congress dates it only to the war years, so the Atlas files it at 1918, the last year of that range.
What to notice
A sailor with a signal flag, the headline's pun made into a picture.
A flag waved, and a question sent back.
