Join Army, Navy, Marines
Army, Navy and 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
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for recruiting to all three services, 61 by 46 cm, from the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection.
Why it matters
One flag stands for the Army, the Navy and the Marines at once. The Library of Congress dates the sheet to 1917 with a question mark, and the Atlas files it at 1917 on that reading.
What to notice
A large American flag and the names of the three services.
Three services, one piece of bunting.
