This color lithograph is a recruiting poster for the Army's Veterinary Corps, and its question, "Are you fond of horses?", speaks directly to animal lovers. Its catalog date is an estimate, placing it around 1919, at the end of the First World War. Although motor vehicles were spreading, the American Army still relied heavily on horses and mules for transport, artillery and supply, so skilled veterinary care was essential. The poster also promotes meat and dairy inspection, reflecting the Corps' broader role in protecting the health of the food supply. Its bold, direct appeal is typical of the wartime recruiting art of the 1910s.
