Caption: This powerful lithograph, titled "Recruitment Poster: The Prime Minister's Advice to the Young Unmarried Men and Pledge to Married Men" was published in 1915 during the First World War. Created by an English school artist, it stands as a testament to the propaganda efforts undertaken by Great Britain during this historic conflict. The poster aims to encourage enlistment in the military and emphasizes both duty and loyalty. It features a striking illustration that captures the attention of viewers with its bold colors and strong imagery. In the foreground, a young unmarried man is depicted receiving advice from none other than the Prime Minister himself. This scene symbolizes guidance and encouragement for those who are yet to be married. In addition, on either side of this central figure stand two married men taking an oath together, pledging their commitment to serve their country despite having families depending on them. This aspect highlights sacrifice and patriotism among married individuals. The overall message conveyed through this recruitment poster is clear – every able-bodied man must contribute towards Great Britain's war effort regardless of his marital status or personal circumstances. By appealing directly to young unmarried men while also acknowledging the bravery of married men, this artwork sought to inspire unity among all citizens during these challenging times. Today, this lithograph serves as a valuable historical artifact within Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, providing us with insight into British society's mindset during World War One and showcasing how art played an essential role in shaping public opinion towards recruitment for military service in
