The United States Official War Films poster dates to 1917, the year the United States entered the First World War, and it reflects how Washington sought to shape public opinion once American troops were committed. Posters like this one promoted official motion pictures about the war, a medium that many people then encountered in neighborhood theaters before the news reels that followed. Worth noticing is the way the design pairs bold lettering with patriotic appeal, typical of wartime graphics meant to be read quickly from a street corner or a theater lobby.
