THE JEWS THE WORLD OVER. Circa 1917.
40 3/4x27 1/2 inches. Montreal Litho Co.
Condition A-: unobtrusive restored losses and repaired tears in margins; discoloration in left margin.
A rare Candian World War One image calling on Jews to enlist in the army. 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!"). Not in Magnes.
