EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a significant moment in history - the arrival of drafted men at Camp Lewis during World War I. Captured around 1917, this postcard offers a glimpse into the lives of these young American men as they gather with anticipation and a sense of responsibility for their service. The image showcases a diverse group of conscripts, representing different backgrounds and social issues prevalent at that time. The faces captured in this photograph reflect both determination and apprehension, as these males prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for the battles that lie ahead. Printed by the renowned Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, this postcard serves as a powerful reminder of the military draft system implemented during World War I. It symbolizes not only the individual sacrifices made by these brave Americans but also represents an entire generation thrust into war. Preserved within Lake County Museum's collection, this photolithograph provides us with an invaluable historical artifact. Louis Scheiner's skillful composition allows us to connect with those who lived through such tumultuous times while reminding us of our duty to honor their memory. As we gaze upon this image today, let it serve as a tribute to all those who have answered their nation's call throughout history. May it inspire gratitude for their bravery and sacrifice while urging us never to forget the lessons learned from past conflicts.
