DescriptionA World War I recruiting poster that features two figures fighting with a burst of light behind them. The figures and ground are in teal, the background is black, and the burst of light is white with a gold center. "WI PGA" is printed in two small boxes in the bottom left corner of the image. A white border of various width surrounds the image with these words printed around it: above it is "ZA NASISAMOSTATNOST! HRR NA VRAHA!" and below is "ZA DEMOKRACII! CECKOSLOVENSKA ARMADA", which roughly translates to "Down with the murders, up with Democracy!". The following appears at the bottom of the poster: "Issued by Czechoslovak Recruiting Office, Tribune Building, New York, Designed and printed at the School of Printing and Graphic Arts of Wentworth Institute, Boston, Mass. U.S.A. Wenworth Poster No. 7". This is an original Wentworth Institute WWI Czechoslovak Recruiting Office Poster.
