About the Item

This dynamic World War I–era illustration depicts a soldier of the 26th U.S. Infantry, captured at a moment of heightened action and resolve. Shown striding forward with a bayonet-fixed rifle in one hand and a grenade in the other, the figure embodies the determination and forward drive associated with the famed “Blue Spaders” regiment. Rendered with striking accuracy, the piece reflects the visual language of early twentieth-century military posters and magazine illustrations that aimed to inspire patriotism and national pride. Every detail of the uniform and equipment is carefully observed, and the regiment’s insignia appears prominently at the upper left. Signed “Brady” at the lower left, the work stands as both a historical artifact and a compelling example of American military illustration, honoring one of the Army’s oldest active units.
