YOU ARE WANTED BY U.S. ARMY. Circa 1918.
41¼x26¾ inches, 104¾x68 cm. Schmidt Litho., San Francisco. Condition A-: replaced bottom corners; creases and repaired tears at edges and in image; repaired pin hole at top corners.
A rare World War I poster, this image was printed locally in San Francisco, so it would have had a much smaller distribution than images meant for national exposure. Using the visual psychology of James Montgomery Flagg's I Want You (1917), this image depicts General Pershing. It was likely published following the release of the United States War Film "Pershing's Crusaders."
