LAURA BREY ENLIST. 1917. 38 3/4x25 5/8 inches. (99 x 65 cm.) Geo. F. Griffin, Chicago. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins, some affecting image; restoration in bottom right corner; horizontal fold. 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.
