Soldiers of the sea" casts the Marines as a seagoing force, and the poster's title promises travel, training, and education as reasons to enlist. Sidney H. Riesenberg made this 1913 color halftone print in the years when the Marine Corps relied on recruiting posters like this to draw young men into its ranks. The catalog files it under World War I recruiting, but it dates from several years before the United States entered that war in 1917.
