Original - "Find the Range of Your Patriotism By Enlisting in the Navy", recruitment poster for the United States Navy from 1918.
Reason
Yet another excellent restoration by Durova. The design on this poster is fabulous, and the image very well illustrates the recruitment campaign for the Navy in WWI.

  • Yes, the reason I added it to the main text was that the passage specifically mentioned that "Between 1915 and 1918, 42% of all army recruitment posters were themed primarily by patriotism", which is precisely what this poster is doing. NauticaShades 15:12, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
