LAURA BREY (DATES UNKNOWN) ENLIST. 1917. 38 3/4x25 3/4 inches, 98 1/2x65 1/2 cm. National Printing & Eng. CO., Ch Condition B+: minor loss and restoration in upper left corner; creases in margins and image; vertical and horizontal folds. A young man in a suit (perhaps a student) is watching a column of soldiers marching past his window. "The window -- a poster within the poster -- separates the bright male world of waving flags and marching columns from the darkened interior feminine space . . . [exploiting] men's anxiety over their masculinity by suggesting the effeminacy of the man who does not enlist" (Paret p. 56). Paret 75, Rawls p. 82, Theofiles 10, Borkan p. 44.
