EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and patriotic piece of sheet music cover art, dedicated to Her Majesty the Queen, with the entire profits from its sale devoted to Queen Mary's Work for Women Fund. The cover, designed to encourage men to enlist during the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, features a determined and inspiring woman with her arms outstretched. The image of the woman, with her gaze fixed on the horizon and her hands urging men to join the army, was a powerful symbol of pressure and influence during wartime. The lyrics of the song, penned by composer Paul A. Rubens, resonated with the patriotic fervor of the era, encouraging men to answer the call of duty and fight for their country. The cover bears the special permission of Her Majesty, adding an air of regality and importance to the piece. The price of the sheet music was set at a shilling, and the cover is signed by the composer, making it a valuable historical artifact. The dedication to Queen Mary's Work for Women Fund further underscores the importance of the role women played in supporting the war effort during this time. The image of the woman with her arms outstretched, urging men to enlist, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the role that music and art played in shaping public opinion and encouraging patriotism. This piece of sheet music cover art is a significant historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and the emotions that drove a generation to fight for their country.
