This rare vintage original poster was issued US Navy in 1935 for recruiting purposes. The poster features an Arthur Beaumont painting of the USS Houston cruiser titled Asiatic Waters and highlights the opportunities to travel and see the world that came with enlistment the US Navy. The USS Houston was highly decorated Northampton-class cruiser in the US Navy that had served as flagship of the Asiatic Fleet and later the United States Fleet. She was sunk by the Japanese navy during WWII at the Battle of Sundra Straight on March 1, 1942.
This is a rare poster with the lower margin indicating a 1935 publication date. Far fewer posters were produced during the interwar period than during WWI or WWII and tended to emphasize travel and other benefits of enlistment rather than wartime themes. This vintage original poster was never used and has no tape or pinholes and just light handling wear including edges slightly bumped in spots and one small faint spot near the lower lefthand corner. Overall condition is very good.
