This U.S. Navy design showcases the style commonly seen in American WWI posters; illustrative, informative, and decorative. Uncle Sam blows his bugle, as a warship cannon erupts in the distance and a Bald Eagle spreads his wings. War is coming for the United States, and recruiting is in full swing. This poster showcases the nearest local Navy recruiting station at 145 Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts which faces Boston Common. It is now a McDonald's.

Frederick Sanborn (1869-1942) was an American illustrator, about whom we have not been able to learn much about outside of the design of this poster.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
