EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a significant piece of American history - the WW1 Recruitment Poster for the US Navy, published in 1917. Created as part of a propaganda campaign to recruit young men and women into the navy during World War I, this colour lithograph is an iconic representation of patriotism and duty. The poster features the famous slogan "I Want You for the Navy" boldly printed at its center, accompanied by an illustration by Howard Chandler Christy. The image depicts a confident female naval officer dressed in her uniform, exuding strength and determination. Her presence serves as both an inspiration to potential recruits and a symbol of women's growing role in wartime efforts. With its striking colours and attention-grabbing design, this recruitment poster aimed to evoke feelings of pride, honor, and duty among Americans. It encouraged individuals from all walks of life to apply at any recruiting station or postmaster's office across the nation. As we reflect on this historical artifact from our past, it reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless men and women who served their country during World War I. This powerful image continues to serve as a testament to their bravery while highlighting how propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during times of conflict.
