You !

Does anybody know where this poster was used ? ....

 

I have a feeling that it may not be authentic Annie.

In 25 pages of Google images, I have only seen it on one personal website and as a poster image (including with a 2007 copyright tag).

I stand to be corrected however.

It is an authentic poster. I'm unsure of the actual artist (i don't think it's Leet), but it was originally published in 1915.

 

It took me by surprise because I'd never seen it before .... but I bet you're right Phil !!

( Then I thought I'd better ask !! )

 

Hello Fritz,

It looks like I have been corrected.

Phil

 

Well I must have been walking around with my eyes closed ... 'cos I've never seen it before !!

 

I think I've found the source of the poster here: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.firstworldwar.com/photos/graphics/gws_kitchener_01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.firstworldwar.com/photos/commanders5.htm&usg=__VMI1kv_i15CBN6bX5N5fRYYh_Aw=&h=3375&w=1600&sz=294&hl=en&start=8&um=1&tbnid=kgPxEhx6xni4EM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=71&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlord%2Bkitchener%2Bportrait%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

The source, GWS, is given as:

From there on in I'd say artistic licence.
