The Posters That Went to War · Over There
U.S. Marines: Serve America on Land and Sea
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 chromolithograph by an unnamed artist, made for Marine Corps recruiting between 1914 and 1918.
Why it matters
The Library of Congress describes a second Marine sheet of these years, U.S. Marines: Active Service, Land, Sea, Air, in the same words. It dates this one only to the war years, so the Atlas files it at 1918.
What to notice
A Marine with a rifle patrolling the docks.
Two elements, guarded from one pier.
