US WW1 Framed 1918 WWI Military Sheet Music Cover 'WE DON'T WANT THE BACON'

An original 1918 World War I American patriotic sheet music cover titled “WE DON’T WANT THE BACON – What We Want Is a Piece of the Rhine!” professionally framed and ready for display. The artwork features a determined American doughboy advancing with fixed bayonet toward a caricatured German figure, set against bold graphic clouds and battlefield imagery. The striking blue and sepia color palette captures the urgency and confidence of late-war American propaganda art.

The piece includes words and music credited to Kid Howard Carr, Harry Russell, and Jimmie Havens, and reflects the popular wartime slogan referencing the Rhine River as a symbolic objective of Allied victory in Europe. Sheet music covers of this era were widely displayed in homes and shop windows, functioning much like posters in promoting morale and patriotic sentiment. This example is housed in a clean wooden frame that complements the period aesthetic and allows for immediate wall display.

A visually compelling and historically significant World War I American home-front display piece, ideal for collectors of WWI militaria, early 20th-century propaganda art, or vintage patriotic ephemera.
