EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, titled "Best Boy Poster: To the Young Women of London," was produced during the early years of World War I to encourage recruitment and boost morale both on the home front and among the military forces. The image features a young, hopeful-looking woman gazing intently at a photograph of a handsome soldier in uniform, her expression a mix of longing and determination. The caption above her head reads, "Is your best boy wearing khaki? If not, don't you think he should?" The poster, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a poignant reminder of the impact of the war on the lives of young people and their families. As the conflict raged on, the need for soldiers became increasingly urgent, and recruitment posters like this one became a common sight in cities and towns across Europe and North America. The use of the term "best boy" in the poster's title is significant, as it was a common term of endearment used to refer to a favorite brother, friend, or romantic partner. By appealing to the emotions of young women, the poster sought to tap into their sense of duty and loyalty, urging them to encourage their loved ones to enlist and do their part for the war effort. Historically, this poster is an important artifact of a pivotal moment in world history. It reflects the profound impact of the war on the lives of ordinary people and the ways in which communities rallied together to support the troops and keep the home fires burning. Today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by generations past and the enduring power of human connection and resilience in the face of adversity.
