What it is
A text-only colour lithograph recruiting poster of 1915, set in Welsh, artist unrecorded, 75 by 50 cm, from the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
The title reads To the Army, Boys of Wales, and the sheet belongs to the run the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee printed for Wales.
What to notice
Type alone, all in Welsh, the argument set out as a run of questions beneath the title.
Wales, addressed in its own tongue.
