Description

The Devil Dog poster

Teufel Hunden, German Nickname for U.S. Marines was drawn by Charles Buckles Falls in 1918. A stocky bulldog in a Marine helmet, with the eagle, globe and anchor on the front, bounds after a fleeing dachshund wearing a German spiked helmet. The hand-drawn lettering fills the rest of the bright orange sheet, ending with Devil Dog Recruiting Station, Sixth & Main Streets.

In April 1918 American newspapers reported that German troops had nicknamed the Marines “teufel hunden”, devil dogs. After the Battle of Belleau Wood that June the story became Marine Corps legend, and the bulldog its mascot. Historians now doubt the Germans ever used the name, but it stuck.

Falls (1874 to 1960) was a celebrated illustrator, designer and letterer, best known for his Books Wanted poster and his woodcut ABC Book.

Read the full history of the poster and its artist.

Restored edition

Restored from an original 1918 print: the paper and colours cleaned, and creases, stains and wear removed, with the lettering and Falls’ monogram kept. We don’t have a usable scan of the print before restoration, so there is no before and after slider.
