EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures the essence of patriotism and duty during World War One. The Kitchener Poster - Your Country Needs You, designed by Alfred Leete in 1916, remains a powerful symbol of recruitment and military service. In this image, Lord Kitchener points his finger directly at the viewer, commanding attention and summoning Britons to join their country's army. The poster's design is simple yet impactful, with bold typography that reads "Britons - (Kitchener) wants YOU. Join your country's army. " It evokes a sense of urgency and unity as it calls upon citizens to contribute to the war effort. Lord Kitchener himself stands tall in his military uniform, exuding authority and determination. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the importance of national defense. It represents an era when individuals were called upon to put aside personal interests for the greater good. The image resonates with both historical significance and artistic merit. Preserved by Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, this photograph allows us to reflect on the impact that such posters had on society at that time. It is not just a piece of art but also a testament to the spirit of those who answered their nation's call during one of history's most challenging periods – World War One.
