EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener, a renowned British military leader and diplomat. Taken in 1910 by Bassano Ltd. , this portrait showcases his commanding presence and distinguished demeanor. Field Marshal Kitchener played a pivotal role in history, regaining the Sudan for Egypt through his victory at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. He further demonstrated his strategic brilliance as commander of British forces during the Boer War from 1899 to 1902. Kitchener's legacy extends beyond military triumphs; he also served as War Minister from 1914 until his tragic death in 1916. His iconic image was immortalized on a famous World War I army recruitment poster that inspired countless individuals to join the war effort. Adorned with medals and wearing an impressive military uniform embellished with gold braid and an aiguillette, Lord Kitchener exudes authority and strength. This photograph is featured in "The Great World War - A History" edited by Frank A Mumby.
