A rare CanadianWorldWar I image calling Jews to enlist in the army. This poster is an extraordinary call to arms, employing three separate persuasive techniques - patronizing expectation: “Britain expects every son of Israel to do his duty;” historical association: “The Jews the world over love liberty, have fought for it & will fight for it;” and following a visual example: the man pictured is saying “you have cut my bonds and set me free - now let me help you set others free!” This is the Yiddish version. Not in Magnes. [4,000/6,000] C.F. PETERS (DATES UNKNOWN) 519 c UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN / [REVIVING SOULS.] 1918. 20 3 / 4 x13 inches, 52 3 / 4 x33 cm.
