EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic British recruiting poster from World War I, featuring Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener. The year was 1914, and this powerful image became a symbol of inspiration for countless men across the British Empire. Lord Kitchener, with his distinguished military uniform and commanding presence, stands tall as he points directly at the viewer. The poster's slogan "Your Country Needs You" is boldly displayed in text beneath him, urging young men to join the army and defend their nation. This propaganda piece played a significant role in mobilizing troops during those early years of the war. It is worth noting that this particular poster served as an inspiration for James Montgomery Flagg's famous "I Want You for the U. S. Army" recruitment poster in 1918. Both images share similar themes of patriotism and duty towards one's country. Lord Kitchener himself was a highly respected figure in England at that time. Known for his military prowess and leadership skills, he had previously served as a major general during conflicts such as the Battle of Omdurman (1898) and later became Secretary of State for War. This remarkable photograph captures not only an important historical artifact but also represents a pivotal moment when nations rallied together to face the challenges brought on by World War I.
