The Empire Needs Men! - A Call to Arms in World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Empire Needs Men!", captures the essence of a powerful recruitment poster from 1915. Created by Arthur Wardle and published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, this vividly colored photolitho aimed to inspire men from Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, and other nations within the British Empire to answer the call for enlistment. In this striking image, an old lion stands resolutely on a rocky outcrop while surrounded by four young lions. Symbolizing strength and unity within the British Empire, it depicts how the younger generation must rally together with their experienced counterparts to defy their foes. The message is clear: Enlist now and help defend our shared values against those who threaten them. As we delve into history through this artwork associated with World War One (1914-1918), we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made during that time. Printed by Straker Brothers Limited in London's Bishopsgate district, this recruiting poster became an iconic symbol of patriotism and duty. Today, as we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the National Army Museum in London's collection via Fine Art Finder's print reproduction courtesy of Bridgeman Images, let us remember those brave individuals who answered that call over a century ago. Their courage shaped our world then and continues to inspire future generations today.
