The poster is exceedingly rare as it is one of the few created by a female artist. Hazel Roberts\u2019s poster for the Navy League, a civilian organization dedicated to supporting the U.S. Navy, was published in 1917, and based on the tone of the content, the image may be part of the preparedness movement that took place before the U.S. officially entered the conflict. The image depicts a white, male bugler dressed in a blue uniform, staring resolutely into a distant horizon that is darkly shaded. The ominous color on the borders of the frame, along with the edge of an American flag on the right side of the image, serve as a visual complement for the verbal metaphor presented in the text below that \u201cWAR CLOUDS\u201d are gathering. In the face of the coming storm, a clear reference to the violence overseas, the sailor\u2019s erect posture communicates masculine strength and confidence. The perspective places the viewer behind the sailor, which results in one of the only WWI posters in which the subject\u2019s back is turned on the audience. Although ambiguity exists, the text stating \u201c\u2018MANHOOD WILLING BUT UNARMED\u2019&#8221; suggests that while the young man has courage and strength, he is in need of supplies and domestic support.<\/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.
