EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases a powerful World War I recruiting poster, created in 1918. The poster features an American soldier passionately pitching a baseball, with the striking text "That Arm - Your Country Needs It" boldly displayed. Lithographed by Vojtech Preissiq, this artwork captures the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice that permeated during the early years of the war. The image portrays a man fully engaged in his role as both a soldier and an athlete. With determination etched across his face, he symbolizes the strength and resilience required to defend one's country. The juxtaposition of baseball, America's beloved pastime, with military service serves as a poignant reminder that every individual has something valuable to contribute to their nation's cause. Preissiq skillfully brings together two seemingly unrelated worlds – sports and warfare – into one cohesive message: that each citizen possesses unique skills that can be harnessed for the greater good. This sentiment resonated deeply with Americans at the time, encouraging them to enlist and support their troops overseas. As we reflect upon this historic piece of art, it reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. It prompts us to consider how our own talents can be utilized for noble purposes today; just like that soldier on the poster who used his arm not only for throwing pitches but also for defending his country.
