EDITORS COMMENTS
a powerful recruiting poster from 1914, showcases a poignant moment between a British infantryman and his father as the soldier prepares to embark on a troop train for the front lines of World War One. The image, published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee as poster No. 18, is a chromolithograph created by renowned English illustrator Lawson Wood. The scene captures the raw emotion and sacrifice of the war effort, as the old man, adorned with his own military medals, bids farewell to his son. The caption, "A Chip off the Old Block," underscores the connection between the father's military legacy and the son's commitment to serve. The image is one of 49 posters produced during this period to encourage enlistment and support the war effort. The use of vibrant colors and intricate detail in the poster reflects the high-quality chromolithography printing technique, which allowed for mass production and widespread distribution. The image's emotional resonance and powerful message made it an effective tool in inspiring thousands of young men to enlist and serve their country during a time of great need. This historic poster offers a glimpse into the sacrifices made by families during the First World War and serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between generations and the importance of duty and service to one's country.
