World War I WWI Recruitment Poster, General Pershing “You Are Wanted by US Army”

About the Item

Incredibly rare WWI recruitment poster featuring what is likely General Pershing on horseback with a play on the poster featuring Uncle Sam proclaiming “I want you.” Printed for San Francisco by a local printer, likely a much small print run and distribution than posters intended for national distribution.
