EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from the historical archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, features a striking image of Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War, from July 1915. The portrait captures the intensity and determination in Kitchener's piercing gaze, framed by his iconic moustache. The background is adorned with the Union Jack and the words "Your Country Needs You" in bold, red letters. Below the portrait, a quote from a speech Kitchener gave at the Guildhall in London on July 5, 1915, is inscribed. "I have to say this, not only to the men of England, but to every man who calls himself an Englishman, wherever he may be, that it is a disgrace to him, a disgrace to his country, that there are still hundreds of thousands of men who have not yet answered their country's call." This powerful message was part of Kitchener's relentless campaign to recruit soldiers for the British military during World War I. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of this period, when the fate of the world hung in the balance, and the call to duty resonated deeply with people from all walks of life. The poster's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of patriotism, duty, and sacrifice, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection or display. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with its bold typography and striking visuals, making it an iconic symbol of a pivotal moment in world history. Whether used for educational or decorative purposes, this poster is sure to captivate and inspire anyone who views it.
