EDITORS COMMENTS
Columbia Calls: A Stirring Allegory of Patriotism and Service in WWI This evocative and powerful American recruitment poster, titled "Columbia Calls," was created during the tumultuous period of the First World War in 1916. The image, a poignant allegory of patriotism and duty, was penned by Frances Adams Halsted and brought to life through the masterful design of Vincent Aderente. At the heart of the poster lies a resplendent figure of Columbia, personifying the United States. She stands tall and proud, her flowing robes adorned with stars and stripes, her right hand extended in a call to arms. Her left hand cradles a sheathed sword, symbolizing the readiness for battle and the protection of the nation. The background is a vibrant, swirling sea of red, white, and blue, representing the American flag. The stars and stripes dance and intertwine, creating a sense of movement and energy. The title, "Columbia Calls, Enlist Now for US Army," is emblazoned across the top in bold, white letters, urging potential recruits to answer the call of their country. The poem inscribed at the bottom, penned by Frances Adams Halsted, further emphasizes the importance of service and sacrifice: "Your country is calling, your country is calling, / From the East and the West, from the North and the South, / The call is clear, the call is strong, / Come, answer the call that shall not be wrong." This powerful poster, a testament to the patriotic spirit of the time, served as a rallying cry for Americans to join the US Army and contribute to the war effort during the First World War. The enduring image of Columbia, with her outstretched hand and call to arms, continues to inspire and resonate with audiences today.
