To All Brave, Healthy, Able Bodied, and Well Disposed Young Men, In This Neighbourhood, Who Have Any Inclination to Join the Troops, Now Raising under General Washington, For the Defence of the Liberties and Independence of the United States, Against the hostile designs of foreign enemies, Take Notice. Facsimile printed broadside. N.p.: N.p., n.d. 21 3/8 x 17 1/8 in.

An attractive facsimile of the famous "Take Notice" broadside recruiting American soldier featuring illustrations of soldiers illustrating the manual of arms. 
 

Though many attributed this recruitment broadside to the Revolutionary War (including bibliographers, c.f. Evans 15103 & Sabin 95882), the enticing advertisement actually dates from the Quasi-War with France in 1798. Notably, the broadside characterizes the enemies as "foreign," not a designation used by the Revolutionary Patriots. Furthermore, recruitment during the Revolution was executed by the individual states, which contributed to the Continental Army (see Lot #), with very few exceptions. Most importantly, the 3 officers listed all served in the 1790s in preparation for possible war with France. For a thorough examination and explanation of the 1798 attribution, see Ray Raphael and Benjamin H. Irvin's excellent article, "Take Notice: The Not-so-1776 Recruiting Poster." 

Though undated, this copy appears to have been produced in the 19th century or early 20th century as a bookplate. The printing, illustration, and paper display an uncommon level of sophistication among other facsimiles and copies. 

Highly presentable.
