This vintage original and rare interwar period poster was issued by the United States Navy for recruiting purposes in 1935. This poster features a painting of a U.S. Navy ship by the artist J.W. Burbank and has text that reads:
The U.S. Navy As a Career – Has produced many staunch citizens. It may be your career. Why not investigate?
The document code printed in the lower margin indicates this poster was issued in 1935 and the artist’s name, J.W. Burbank, appears in the lower righthand corner of the image area. Far fewer U.S. Navy recruiting posters were issued during the interwar period making them much harder to find than posters issued during WWI and WWII. Posters from the interwar period tended to emphasis travel, the opportunity to learn job skills, careerism and other peacetime messages such as this example here.
The vintage original poster has no tape or pinholes and doesn’t appear to have ever been hung up or used. The poster shows some creasing to the margin area on the upper right hand corner and the edges are a bit bumped in spots. The colors are strong and the poster displays beautifully. Overall condition is very good.
