Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:William Allen Rogers - Only the Navy Can Stop This (WWI U.S. Navy recruitment poster).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 23, 2020. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2020-01-23. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!

Picture of the day

This picture shows a United States Navy recruitment poster from 1917, based on a cartoon by William Allen Rogers (1854–1931) published in the New York Herald during World War I. It shows a personified Germany wading through a sea of dead bodies, with the slogan "Only the Navy Can Stop This" below the drawing, presumably a reference to the U-boat campaign and the sinking of civilian ships such as the Lusitania.

Rogers was a self-taught artist and began submitting political cartoons to Midwestern newspapers during his teens. He was employed for twenty-five years by Harper's Weekly to illustrate the magazine's editorials; this was followed by daily contributions of political cartoons to the New York Herald for twenty years.Poster credit: William Allen Rogers; restored by Adam Cuerden
