Few posters of the period argue for the Navy as directly as this one, which asks viewers to "Follow the Flag" into service. Printed in color by Carey Print Lithography in New York around 1917, it appeared soon after the United States entered the First World War in April of that year. The Navy expanded quickly during the war, and its recruiting posters often appealed to young men's sense of duty and adventure. The composition is credited to an artist named Daugherty.
