# "Navy Blue" - Judge Magazine, September 28, 1918 This cover illustration, titled "Navy Blue," depicts a tall U.S. Navy sailor in uniform as the dominant figure, with smaller civilian figures (appearing to include women and children) gathered behind him in admiration or dependency. Published during World War I's final weeks (the war ended November 1918), this appears to be patriotic propaganda celebrating American naval power and military strength. The composition suggests the Navy as protector of the American home front and civilian population. The artist's signature reads "T. Dorman." The illustration uses scale and positioning to convey the Navy's importance to national security during this critical wartime moment.
