Its headline question, "Are you fond of horses?", sets this 1919 color lithograph apart from many wartime posters that stressed rifles and trenches. Horst Schreck's design pitches the Army Veterinary Corps to men who wanted to work with animals, promising instruction in the care and treatment of horses for riding and driving. The poster also lists meat and dairy inspection among the Corps' duties, a reminder that army veterinarians covered food safety as well as animal health. The record credits the United States Fuel Administration, a wartime agency, as sponsor.
