A couple weeks ago I was going through old photos stored in my cedar chest, which I inherited from my paternal grandmother about fifteen years ago, and I came across this brittle poster (click on photo to enlarge). I guess I never noticed it before because it was turned upside down at the bottom of the chest, underneath some of my grandmother's crocheted doilies and pillowcases. The WWI poster presents a mystery, because there is no identification for the faded photograph of the sailor at the bottom. I know my grandfather was not in the navy. I'm thinking about having the poster framed, but the glorification of Woodrow Wilson might be more than I can handle seeing on a regular basis. ; )
