Replica of a British Army poster printed in the American Colonies seeking local soldiers to fight against the Colonists.
All intrepid and able-bodied Heroes who are willing to serve His Majesty King George the Third in defence of their Country, Laws and Constitution, against the arbitrary usurpations of a tyrannical Congress, have now not only an opportunity of manifesting their Spirit by assisting in reducing to obedience their too-long deluded countrymen, but also of acquiring the polite accomplishments of a soldier by serving only two years or during the present rebellion in America (partial text of poster.)
Antiqued parchment paper looks and feels old. The document size is 11 x 14 inches.
