Description

Celebrate a piece of home-front history with this vintage recruitment poster by Edward Penfield, originally produced in 1918. The image shows a determined schoolgirl in a sailor-style blouse, skirt and boots pushing a wheel hoe across a planted bed beside the poster’s large blue headline and red call to action. The simple colour palette and confident drawing capture an era of civic effort and youthful duty.

Perfect for a kitchen, mudroom, home office or history-lover’s collection and as a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in World War I ephemera or vintage graphic design.
