This black and white lithograph from 1919 showcases a World War I USA Navy recruitment poster, titled "Give the World the Once Over". The image transports us to an exotic scene in India, where American sailors are seen embracing their tourist personas. Perched atop a majestic elephant, they embark on an unforgettable journey through this enchanting land. The sailors' sense of awe is palpable as they take in the breathtaking sights that India has to offer. With cameras in hand, they capture every moment of this extraordinary adventure. This poster not only serves as a call to action for potential recruits but also highlights the transformative power of travel and exploration. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship evident in this artwork make it truly remarkable. The artist masterfully captures the essence of both worlds colliding – America's naval force and India's rich cultural heritage. Through this powerful visual narrative, we witness how these brave men become ambassadors for their country while immersing themselves in foreign lands. As we gaze upon this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we can't help but be transported back to a time when patriotism ran deep and curiosity knew no bounds.
