Are You Fond of Horses? — Horst Schreck, 1919

Are You Fond of Horses? is a striking 1919 U.S. Army recruitment poster by Horst Schreck. A large horse portrait dominates the composition, framed by decorative foliage and bold lettering promoting service in the Veterinary Corps. The combination of animal imagery and strong typography gives the poster an immediate and memorable graphic presence.

Deep blue-green, yellow, brown, cream, and green create a distinctive period palette. Beneath the horse, the poster describes Veterinary Corps work involving animal care and treatment, riding and driving, along with meat and dairy inspection. Created during the World War I era, the design brings together equestrian imagery, military history, and early American recruitment poster art.
