EDITORS COMMENTS
A Call to Action!: WW1 Poster from the Navy Department - Circa 1917 During the tumultuous period of the First World War, the United States government called upon its industrial workforce to answer the call of duty and contribute to the war effort. This powerful poster, titled "A Call to Action!" and issued by the Navy Department around 1917, exemplifies the patriotic fervor and emotional appeal that permeated the nation during this time. The poster features an allegorical female figure, symbolizing the spirit of America, standing proudly before a factory backdrop, her arms outstretched towards the viewer. Her left hand holds a star-spangled American flag, while her right hand points towards a group of industrious workers in a factory setting. The caption above the figure reads, "To All Employees Working on Government Contracts," emphasizing the importance of their labor in the war effort. The poster's design is both persuasive and emotive, with the figure's determined expression and the stars and stripes of the flag serving to evoke a sense of national pride and unity. The use of the female figure, a common motif in wartime propaganda, underscores the essential role of women and labor in the war effort, as well as the importance of the home front in supporting the troops on the battlefield. As the United States entered the war in 1917, posters like "A Call to Action!" became a powerful tool for persuading the workforce to contribute to the war effort, inspiring a sense of determination and unity among Americans from all walks of life. This iconic image remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the American people during the First World War.
