The caption poses a pointed question instead of issuing a command: "On which side of the window are you?" Printed in Chicago in 1917, the year the United States entered the First World War, this lithograph by Laura Brey belongs to a large body of recruiting posters aimed at young men who might otherwise watch the war from the sidelines. The window frames the choice between taking part and standing by, a theme that recurred in American enlistment art of the period.
