Here is your chance to see France and the Rhine" leads this text-only lithograph, which sells Army service as a trip abroad rather than a plain call to arms. The mention of 50,000 men points to the American Expeditionary Forces, the force Gen. John J. Pershing led to France after the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917. Recruiting posters like this were printed in large runs and displayed in post offices, storefronts and public halls to fill units quickly. With no illustration at all, the poster relies entirely on its promise of travel and adventure to draw a reader in.
