The poster features a sailor, bravely on top of a giant brass torpedo, speeding through the waves, with the compelling message: 'Join the navy, the service for fighting men', to inspire more men to enlist in the navy. This artwork has been carefully color-matched to the original and officially endorsed by the Imperial War Museum. Your purchase directly contributes to the continued operations of the museum.

About the artist

Known for his illustrations in encyclopedias, advertisements, and World War I propaganda posters, Richard Fayerweather Babcock (1887-1954) was a respected illustrator, painter, muralist, and teacher. Born in Denmark, Iowa in 1887, Babcock refined his talent at the Art Students League in New York City, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and art institutions in Munich, Germany, and Spain.

During his time in Europe, Babcock specialised in poster design, which led to his significant role in designing posters for the Navy Department during World War I. His notable works include a 1917 poster featuring a sailor riding a torpedo.

In 1918, Babcock joined the faculty of the Art Institute's School, where he taught poster design until his resignation in 1922. His contributions to the advertising industry include a 1930 illustrated booklet for the ""Golden State Limited"" train route from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Aside from his art, Babcock was also a founding member of the Chicago Business Men's Symphony Orchestra in 1921. He died in Evanston in 1954.
