The Posters That Went to War · Over There
U.S. Marines: Active Service, Land, Sea, Air
U.S. Marine Corps recruiting, 1914–1918
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 offset poster by an unnamed artist, made for Marine Corps recruiting between 1914 and 1918.
Why it matters
The headline offers the Corps on land, at sea and in the air. The Library of Congress dates the sheet only to the war years, so the Atlas files it at 1918, the last year of that range.
What to notice
A Marine on patrol along the docks, rifle in hand.
A sentry, offered the sky as well.
