What it is
A recruiting poster of the reborn Polish state, 1919, from Polona, the National Library of Poland; the artist is unrecorded.
Why it matters
Whoever is healthy and strong, let him go to the army: the call of the Polish-Bolshevik war, fought by a state barely a year old.
What to notice
The title is a plain sentence, a call with no condition but health and strength.
Health and strength, and no other papers.
