About this Item
np (74pp) + np (24pp), 102 black and white mounted photographs + 36 b&w illustrations. This is a hand-assembled scrapbook album that has been filled with black and white photographs loosely inserted into corner mounts reproducing one hundred and two posters issued in conjunction with the United States' participation in the First World War. While not dated, its general appearance and the sulfurous nature of the pages give the impression that this dates to the first half of the twentieth Century. A most handsome example of this unique album bearing the vintage Ex Libris bookplate of Charles L. Heartwell who we suspect must be the compiler into which has been laid a Fine condition copy of "Recruiting Posters Issued by the U.S. Navy Since the Declaration of War" issued in 1918 by the Press of the U.S. Navy Recruiting Bureau that features images of works by the likes of J.C. Leyendecker, Frank Brangwyn, Charles Dana Gibson, Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, and many more. Seller Inventory # 026955
