What it is
A colour lithograph by an unidentified artist for Marine Corps recruiting in 1917, 71 by 48 cm.
Why it matters
The sheet gives Teufel hunden, devil dogs, as the Germans' name for the Marines, and the Corps hung the name over a recruiting station.
What to notice
A bulldog in a Marine helmet chasing a dachshund in a German helmet.
An enemy's insult, worn as a badge.
