Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/World War I women's recruitment poster

Original - Recruitment poster for women to join the United States Navy, 1917.

Reason: The Navy was the first branch of the U.S. armed forces to accept women in capacities other than nursing. This vintage World War I poster promises fair advancement to any person who enlists. The insignia on the model's sleeve indicate 8-11 years' service and the senior enlisted rank of chief (E-7). Restored version of Image:WWINavyYeoman.jpg.
Articles this image appears in: Yeoman (F), Loretta Perfectus Walsh, and Female roles in the World Wars.

- This was the Library of Congress file. Usually they host the largest version available. Durova^Charge! 20:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Checked it out on the Loc website. While itðs true that for some reason they only offer this image in this size, this similar one is available much larger. However, the composition is much poorer, hence I'm inclined to Support this one. Adam Cuerden ^talk 00:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

        Higher resolution, inferior layout. And annoying stamps added later. Durova^Charge! 21:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
