The brightly colored image shows a white civilian, nicely dressed, walking outside while holding a newspaper, blissfully unaware of the battleships fighting at sea behind him until a uniformed sailor placed an arm on the man\u2019s shoulder and redirects his attention. Directly above the men, floating in the air, is Columbia, the allegorical female embodiment of America holding a sword in one hand and an American flag in the other. Columbia is sometimes depicted as a fierce warrior, and although she holds a sword in this image, Flagg\u2019s version of Columbia is sexualized, vulnerable, and given wings. The black text in the upper-left corner gives shape to the interaction by stating, \u201cTHE NAVY NEEDS YOU! DON\u2019T READ AMERICAN HISTORY-MAKE IT!\u201d In placing the two men side-by-side, Flagg\u2019s poster allows male audiences to imagine themselves as becoming heroic and adventurous shapers of history after joining the military.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright and Terms<\/td>\n<td>Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
