What it is
A colour lithograph Harry J. Weston drew for Australian recruiting in 1915, 91 by 61 cm, from the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
Weston made a run of recruiting posters in this vein, each built on a single spoken line.
What to notice
The title stands in quotation marks, a line spoken straight to the reader.
Mateship, with an edge of impatience.
