K.M. BARA (DATES UNKNOWN) YOU ARE WANTED BY U.S. ARMY. Circa 1918. 41 1/4x27 1/2 inches, 105x70 cm. Schmidt Litho., San Francisco. Condition B+: repaired tears and restoration at edges; creases and abrasions in image. 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." Not in Rawls, not in Theofiles, not in Borkan.
