ARTIFACT:
This is a circa 1943 United States Women's Army Corps recruiting poster. The poster asks "ARE YOU A GIRL WITH A STAR-SPANGLED HEART?" A female soldier framed by a billowing American flag looks imploringly out for any like-minded "girls". The image is signed by the artist, Bradshaw Crandell, whose advertising art was widely published as early as the 1920's and very recognizable. The bottom of the recruiting poster reads: "JOIN THE WAC NOW!", "THOUSANDS OF ARMY JOBS NEED FILLING", "WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS UNITED STATES ARMY"
