1915 Great Britain WW I Propaganda Poster Stamp Take Up The Sword Of Justice. Published By Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, London Backprinting Completely Readable: Printed By David Allen And Sons Ld. Harrow, Middlesex. W. 4502. 500m. 7/15 Artist Bernard Partridge (1861-1945) Unused Hinge Remnant 90% Original GumThe sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania was one of the most controversial incidents of the First World War. On 1st May 1915 the Lusitania set sail from New York bound for Liverpool, with over 1,900 passengers and crew on board. Six days later a German submarine, the U-20, sank her as she approached southern Ireland. 1,200 lives were lost, including 128 Americans, causing outrage in both Britain and America. In her defence, Germany argued that the Lusitania was carrying supplies of ammunition and also cited American press warnings discouraging travel on Allied ships. Nevertheless President Woodrow Wilson issued an official protest and there were anti-German riots in American cities. Meanwhile British propaganda capitalized on the incident (see PST 11782, PST 11803, PST 11821 and PST 11856), portraying it as an act of German barbarism. Though America remained for the time neutral, the sinking of the liner caused a significant hardening of opinion against Germany, which eventually led to her entry into the First World War, in 1917, on the side of the Allies. Courtesy Of British War Museum British World War I Propaganda Poster Stamp Was Issued By The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee Of London Around 1915 And Features The Famous “Take Up The Sword Of Justice” Artwork Originally Created To Urge Men To Enlist Following The Sinking Of The RMS Lusitania. The Dramatic Design Shows A Classical Female Allegory Of Justice Clad In Flowing White And Draped In A Vivid Red Cloak, Raising A Gleaming Sword High Against A Fiery Sunset Sky. Behind Her, In The Churning Sea, Wreckage And Lifeless Figures Refer To The Lusitania Disaster Of May 1915, When A German U-Boat Attack Killed Over One Thousand Civilians, Including Many Americans. The Imagery Was Intended To Provoke Outrage, Stir Patriotism, And Inspire Military Recruitment. These Labels Were Printed In Small Sheets And Distributed As Patriotic Seals For Envelopes And Letters To Spread The Call To Arms. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): English: Take Up The Sword Of Justice. Published By Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, London. Country Of Origin: United Kingdom. Year Of Issue: Circa 1915.Please Note That Any Discoloration, Lines, Or Marks Visible On The Scan Are From The Acetate Or Protective Page Holding The Stamp During Scanning.
