Created in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. Columbia, a common symbol of the nation, stands between a sailor and a soldier, representing the Navy and Army acting together as the country expanded its reach beyond the continent. Their firm handshake and straightforward posture emphasize unity and duty rather than heroics. Prints like this were widely circulated to reinforce public support for the war and to frame American military service as a shared national responsibility.
