EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, titled "Volunteering for National Service" we are transported back to the early 20th century. The image captures a poignant moment in history during World War I when men from all walks of life were called upon to serve their country. The scene unfolds within the walls of a bustling post office in London. Men clad in various attire, representing different professions and social classes, have gathered together with a shared purpose - volunteering for national service. Their faces reflect determination and patriotism as they eagerly await their turn to sign up. The artist, Samuel Begg, masterfully portrays the sense of urgency surrounding this duty through intricate details. The composition is filled with an air of camaraderie as these brave individuals come together to answer the call of their nation. Published in the Illustrated London News on February 17th, 1917, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war. It immortalizes those who willingly put aside personal aspirations and comfort for something greater than themselves. As we gaze upon this historic artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on our own responsibilities towards society and reminds us that volunteering for a cause larger than ourselves can be an urgent duty at any time or place.
