EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative World War I poster from 1915, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, encapsulates the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice that defined the American response to the global conflict. The image of a determined figure holding a bayonet and a rivet, with the caption "What Can You Do?" and the answer "Join the Army or Help Win the War in Industries," underscores the urgent call to action for able-bodied men to enlist in the military or support the war effort through industrial production. The use of symbols such as the rivet and the bayonet is significant, as they represent the tools of industry and the weapons of war, respectively. The image of the rivet being driven home with a hammer in one hand and a bayonet in the other highlights the idea that every individual has a role to play in the war effort, whether it be on the battlefield or in the factories that produced the weapons and supplies needed to sustain the military. This poster is a testament to the historical significance of the war and the role that propaganda played in mobilizing the American public to support the war effort. The use of striking imagery and a clear call to action helped to galvanize public opinion and encourage people to join the military or support the war effort in other ways. As we reflect on the centenary of World War I and the sacrifices made by generations past, this poster serves as a reminder of the power of patriotism and the importance of individual action in times of crisis. Whether through military service or supporting the war effort in other ways, each of us has the ability to make a difference and contribute to a greater cause.
