EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI poster, titled 'Go at Once, Enlist Now,' was created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915 to encourage young men to join the British army without hesitation. The design is based on a quote from William Shakespeare's Macbeth, "Stand not upon the order of your going, But go at once," which adds a sense of urgency and patriotic call-to-action. The poster's bold and striking text is rendered in bold red, white, and black lettering, with the words "Enlist Now" taking center stage. The use of Shakespeare's quote adds a historical and literary depth to the recruitment message, appealing to the cultural knowledge and sense of duty of potential recruits. The image of a soldier in uniform, standing at attention and looking directly at the viewer, reinforces the idea of personal responsibility and the importance of answering the call to serve. The use of the Union Jack in the background further emphasizes the patriotic appeal of the poster. This poster is a poignant reminder of the urgent need for manpower during the First World War, and the powerful role that language and literature could play in inspiring people to take action. The image of the soldier, combined with the Shakespearean quote, creates a sense of duty, urgency, and pride, making it a compelling and effective piece of wartime propaganda.
