Join the US Marines

Immerse yourself in the rich, historic legacy of the United States Marine Corps with our authentic reproductions of a vintage Marine Corps poster. Featuring a portrait of a Marine, poised with his rifle, this vintage poster was created between 1914 and 1918 to inspire viewers to join the ranks of these revered forces.

Sporting the slogan "The First to Fight on Land and Sea," the original lithograph poster also includes an address in Baltimore, guiding potential enlistees towards their first step in joining the Marines. This piece of historic military recruitment lends a fascinating insight into the past and the world of vintage military posters.

At Old Town Print Gallery, we've lovingly restored the old USMC advertisement using digital technology to repair damage and restore faded colors. You can expect nothing but superior quality from our reproductions, which are available in various sizes and printed on both fine art paper and premium canvas.

Our prints are crafted with meticulous attention to detail at our studio in Alexandria, VA. Vintage posters were not made in standard sizes, so unfortunately, we aren't able to offer all of our posters in the exact same sizes. In an effort to create a standard system, the sizing for our posters is based on the long dimension of each image. While the short dimensions will vary, you can order multiple prints with the same long dimension to create a uniform look when displaying your prints.
