EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lord Kitchener says: Enlist to-day" captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history. Taken by Bassano and printed by David Allen & Sons Ld, this poster was created in 1915 under the direction of the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in London during World War I. The medium used for this print is a lithograph and halftone photomechanical print, showcasing vibrant colors that bring Lord Kitchener's portrait to life. The image features Lord Kitchener himself, accompanied by his powerful words urging men to enlist immediately. His quote emphasizes the urgent need for men, materials, and money to support the war effort. It questions whether duty alone can inspire action or if compulsion is necessary. Displayed at a size of 50 x 75 cm, this poster serves as a visual reminder of the immense responsibility placed upon individuals during wartime. Its historical significance lies not only in its message but also in its representation of propaganda efforts aimed at rallying public support. Preserved within the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, this print stands as an enduring symbol of patriotism and sacrifice during one of humanity's most challenging periods. Its presence reminds us all that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, unity can be found through shared purpose and unwavering determination.
