Item Number: 5654
Title: Man the ships! Enroll here for the Merchant Marine
Artist: James Daugherty
Size: 20"x30"
Comments: Something very unusual in US WWI posters....the famous US Shipping Board poster "The Ships are Coming" was also used for Merchant Marine recruiting by attaching a banner to the lower section below the image. First time I have had this variant. Merchant Marine recruiting posters from WWI are rarely seen, few types were made.
Price: $950
Condition: A-, linen mounted, fine color, trace of folds before mounting.
