What it is
Frank X. Leyendecker's 1918 recruiting poster: 'These men have come across, they are at the front now. Join them. Enlist in the Navy.'
Why it matters
Frank worked beside his brother J. C. in Chicago and New York and was best known for covers for Vogue, Vanity Fair and Life; he died in 1924.
What to notice
The headline speaks of men already at the front, then turns to the reader.
An invitation to follow men already gone.
