Not Just Hats Off to the Flag, But Sleeves Up for It!
A. H. Palmer (1853-1932) · U.S. Army Ordnance, 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.

$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph A. H. Palmer drew for U.S. Army Ordnance in 1917, 104 by 71 cm.
Why it matters
Ordnance meant the guns and the shells, and the sheet asks the men who made them to show their loyalty in work.
What to notice
A man among munitions rolls up his sleeves as he watches a distant crowd salute the American flag.
A salute, made with the forearms.
