What it is
A recruiting poster E. J. Kealey drew for the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1915, poster no. 75, printed by Hill, Siffken & Co., 76 by 51 cm, photographed from the sheet in the Eybl collection at the Vienna poster museum.
Why it matters
After 1915, as voluntary enlistment in the regular army began to slow, women were expected to do their patriotic duty by sending their men, and this sheet put that expectation into a picture. The Eybl record gives Kealey's dates as unknown.
What to notice
Two women and a child stand at a window and watch soldiers marching away to join the war.
The send-off, seen by those who stay.
