EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Call to Duty: A Stirring Poster from the Great War Era, 1917 This evocative poster, hailing from the tumultuous year of 1917 during the First World War, serves as a powerful reminder of the unwavering spirit of patriotism and the collective call to duty that swept across America during this pivotal period in history. The image, featuring the iconic likeness of Uncle Sam, is an enduring symbol of the Navy's recruitment efforts during the Great War. The poster's title, "I Want You for the Navy," is emblazoned boldly across the top, with an appeal to anyone who might be considering enlisting. The text below, "Apply at any Recruiting Station or Postmaster," is a clear and concise instruction for those wishing to answer the call. The image of Uncle Sam, with his stern gaze and outstretched finger, is a potent symbol of the nation's need for manpower. The woman in the background, dressed in a simple yet attractive blouse, suggests that the call to duty was not just for men, but for women as well. The Navy uniform, with its crisp lines and gleaming buttons, is a suggestive reminder of the pride and sense of purpose that came with serving one's country. The poster's design is both persuasive and patriotic, with its use of red, white, and blue colors, and the bold, clear typography. The image of Uncle Sam, a familiar figure from American folklore, adds an element of tradition and authority to the call to enlist. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during the First World War, and the unifying spirit of patriotism that drove them to answer the call to duty. It is a testament to the enduring power of visual persuasion and the role that posters played in shaping public opinion during a time of great upheaval.
