About this artwork

"Britons - Join Your Country's Army!" is an iconic recruitment poster from 1914, created by Alfred Leete. It features Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War, pointing at the viewer with the words "Wants you" below him. The poster was designed to persuade young men to join the British Army to fight against the Central Powers. Today, it's seen as one of the most memorable visuals from World War One. This reproduction is color-matched to the original and has the approval of the Imperial War Museum. Each sale supports the museum's work.

About the artist

Born in Thorpe Achurch, Northamptonshire in 1882, self-made artist Alfred Ambrose Chew Leete found his passion for art as an apprentice surveyor in Bristol. His first paid drawing was published in 1897 by the Daily Graphic, paving his way to frequent contributions to Bristol Magpie. Moving to London in 1899, he became a printer's artist before turning independent in 1905. His work, often comedic illustrations and ads, appeared in many publications. Leete is best known for his iconic World War I recruitment poster featuring Lord Kitchener. He died in 1933.
