Six posters share this sheet, each built to pull young men toward the American Expeditionary Forces after the country entered the First World War in April 1917. Recruitment art of this kind relied on bold lettering, strong color and simple appeals to duty, and the set was meant to be seen together on a wall or in a town square. Worth noticing is how the designers mixed direct calls to enlist with broader morale messages, aiming to keep civilians as well as potential soldiers committed to the war effort.
