Title: Enlist in the Marines Vintage poster encouraging enlistment in the French Marines. The names of various naval ships are listed on the poster—the Primaguet, Duquesne, Suffren , Surcue, Courbet—all potential ships that a marine could have the honor of manning. The map designed as the backdrop for the poster further engages the viewer to imagine all the distant islands they could reach as a marine; the whole poster is composed to engage the imagination and glorify the sea-faring life of a French marine.
