A recruitment poster carrying the slogan "Your King and Country Need You," shortened in the record, this one is best known for its pointing figure of Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War. Kitchener was raising a volunteer army after Britain entered the First World War in August 1914. The design, drawn by illustrator Alfred Leete, first appeared as a magazine cover that September and was soon reproduced widely as a poster. It is worth noticing how its direct, personal appeal to the viewer became a model for wartime propaganda.
