The Call to Duty 1917 - Join the Army for Home and Country, American

Original American World War I recruitment poster titled The Call to Duty - Join the Army for Home and Country, issued in 1917 by the Recruiting Committee of the Mayor's Committee on National Defense. The dramatic patriotic composition depicts a uniformed Army bugler sounding the call to arms before a billowing American flag. The image was adapted from a sculpture by Italian-American sculptor Edoardo Cammilli, whose attribution appears within the poster. Published to encourage enlistment and national service during World War I, the work is a striking example of early 20th-century American military and propaganda poster design. Art size: 30" W x 40" H; framed size: 32" W x 43" H. Condition Request Condition Report We are pleased to inform you that the item is in excellent condition.
