EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of powerful advertisements that played a significant role in raising Kitcheners Army during the First World War. Created by an unknown artist, these enlistment propaganda posters are presented in both Welsh and English languages, aiming to reach a wider audience. The image features five thought-provoking questions directed at men who have not yet enlisted, urging them to consider their duty towards their country. Additionally, there are five compelling reasons highlighted for Irishmen to join the army, emphasizing the importance of unity and support during this critical time. One particularly striking advertisement addresses the young women of London, appealing to their sense of patriotism and encouraging them to inspire their loved ones to enlist. This emotional blackmail technique was commonly employed as part of recruitment efforts during wartime. Published in 1919 by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in London, this monochrome print captures the essence of graphic design from that era. The bold lettering and impactful imagery evoke feelings of national pride and loyalty. Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener is prominently featured throughout these advertisements as a symbol of leadership and inspiration. His iconic image became synonymous with British recruitment campaigns during this period. Overall, this historic print serves as a reminder of the immense influence that advertising had on mobilizing troops for war efforts while reflecting upon the sacrifices made by individuals across different nations during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
