EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the Royal Proclamation issued by King George V on August 1, 1914, calling for men to join the Royal Naval Reserve, Royal Fleet Reserve, and the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in response to the outbreak of World War 1. The proclamation, signed by the King and bearing the Great Seal of the Realm, was a pivotal moment in the war effort as it marked the beginning of mass recruitment for the Royal Navy. The design features an elaborate crest of the Royal Navy, with the King's crowned monogram at its center, surrounded by the insignia of the various naval branches. The text of the proclamation is printed in bold, clear letters, urging eligible men to enlist and serve their country. The poster also includes a notice of the war declaration and a call to action, emphasizing the importance of the naval forces in the defense of the realm. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the historical context of the early days of World War 1 and the role of the Royal Navy in shaping the course of the conflict. The intricate details of the crest and the formal language of the proclamation add to its historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any collection of naval history or World War 1 memorabilia.
