First World War propaganda poster, 1915

Bernard Partridge

This recruitment poster was first published a month after the sinking of
the Lusitania. It depicts the figure of Justice rising from the sea,
offering a sword while the ship sinks and the passengers drown. It was
intended to tap into the raw emotion and anger felt in Britain and
encourage people to avenge Lusitania by enlisting.
