EDITORS COMMENTS
Answer the Call Right Quickly" is a powerful and evocative World War I poster from 1915, created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee to encourage enlistment in the British, French, and Russian armies. The poster's vibrant design features a colorful backdrop of Allied flags, with the flag in the middle bearing the blue cross on a white background representing the ensign of the Russian navy at the time. The call to action is clear and direct, with the text "Answer the Call Right Quickly" written in bold, patriotic letters, urging viewers to enlist and join the fight against the Central Powers. The use of the Allied flags not only symbolizes unity among the Allies but also serves to emphasize the international scope of the conflict. The poster's historical significance lies in its role as a powerful tool of wartime propaganda, designed to tap into the patriotic fervor and sense of duty that characterized the early years of World War I. The use of the Russian flag reflects the important role that Russia played in the Allied coalition, and the call to "answer the call right quickly" speaks to the urgent need for manpower to sustain the war effort. This poster is a testament to the visual power of propaganda in shaping public opinion and mobilizing resources during times of war. Its vivid colors and bold design continue to capture the imagination and evoke a sense of history and nostalgia, making it a valuable addition to any collection of World War I memorabilia or historical artifacts.
