EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative magazine and news sheet cover from circa 1919, titled "Khaki, No.1," showcases the powerful call to action of the First World War recruitment era. The design, reminiscent of Frank Brangwyn's iconic "Your Friends Need You. Be a Man." poster, effectively conveys the urgency and importance of enlisting in the army during the postwar period. Featuring a rugged soldier in khaki uniform against a backdrop of barbed wire and military equipment, the cover serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict that demanded the sacrifice of countless lives. The title, "Khaki, No.1," suggests that this issue is a special edition dedicated to the war effort. The cover's lower section showcases an array of notable contributors, including Thomas Hardy, Marie Corelli, and Jerome K. Jerome, who lent their stories and sketches to the publication. These renowned authors added depth and intrigue to the magazine, providing readers with engaging content that offered a glimpse into the lives of soldiers and civilians during the war. The cabled news headlines at the bottom of the cover further emphasize the importance of staying informed during this critical time in history. With titles such as "Germany's New Offensive," "Allied Victories," and "Peace Negotiations," the cover underscores the importance of a free press in keeping the public informed and engaged in the events unfolding during the First World War.
