Driving the point further, a rallying quote by Theodore Roosevelt printed below illustration for " Americans! Stand by Uncle Sam For liberty against tyranny." Poster originally rolled but given its age had chipping, paper loss and tears throughout the white borders, including one tear extending into the image.
