Vintage 1970s Navy WWI Recruiting Poster Print 16 x 20
'Follow The Flag' James Daugherty Artist
Artist James Daugherty (1889-1974) was commissioned by the US Shipping Board during WWI to do a series of posters and this is one of them. A robust sailor equiped with all sorts of gear proudly plants the flag in the ground as a battleship moves ahead in the background. The artist's signature appears in the sea at the lower right side.
This print is part of a series produced in the 1970s. Outside measurements are 16" x 20" and the image size is 12" x 15-1/2". It is printed on a medium weight matte finish card stock.
Purchased at an estate sale along with many from the same series, the condition is very good, with subtle slightly bent corners.
