"The Call to Duty" — 1917 U.S. Army Recruiting Poster
The bugle sounds. A lone soldier stands resolute, trumpet raised high beside a swirling American flag, calling men to service.
This 1917 poster arrived as America entered World War I, urging enlistment in the Army for home and country. Adapted from a sculpture by Edoardo Cammilli, it distilled the urgent patriotic call of the moment into a single dramatic figure.
The uniformed bugler blows with full commitment, the Stars and Stripes whipping dramatically around him in bold reds, whites, and blues — a vivid emblem of duty and resolve.
Printed from a high-resolution Library of Congress scan onto archival paper — a faithful reproduction of the public-domain original, made for your wall and not for a vault.
