Help Your Country Stop This: An iconic World War I US Navy recruitment poster by Frank Brangwyn, 1917.
Belgian born Brangwyn (1867-1956) was a prominent painter and graphic artist who produced over 80 poster designs during World War I. Done at the request of Lieutenant Henry Reuterdahl, this piece shows, in Brangwyn's rugged style, a rescue of American sailors, the survivors of a ship sunk by a German submarine. This poster is in the Library of Congress collection, among others.
