Sir Frank Brangwyn WWI Navy Recruiting Poster

HELP YOUR COUNTRY STOP THIS / ENLIST IN THE NAVY (New York: American Lithographic Co., 1917), a moving composition centers upon a distressed sailor's personal appeal for help. Though not named, the scene certainly recalls the horrific 1915 sinking of the SS. Lusitania by a German U-boat. Brangwyn, a Welshman, was a prolific and versatile artist in several media. He created dozens of posters for the Allied war effort.
