A multi-panel recruitment poster from 1918 makes its appeal in sections rather than in a single image, so a viewer's eye moves across several scenes in sequence. Posters of this kind were a central tool of the United States Army during the First World War, when the government relied on printed appeals, along with newspapers and public speeches, to fill the ranks after the country entered the conflict in 1917. The divided layout allowed designers to pair a stirring central message with smaller vignettes of training, duty and home life. Worth noticing is how the panels work together as a single argument for enlistment, a format that was less common than the standalone poster of one dramatic figure.
