Lot 340

Original vintage WWI recruiting propaganda poster published by The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee: Britons! Your Country Needs You. Text printed in large red letterings over a map of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Printed by Saunders & Cullingham, London. As in the rest of Europe, the outbreak of the First World War was greeted with popular acclaim in Britain. Around 30,000 men were enlisting every day by the end of August 1914. Propaganda posters helped persuade men to enlist. Tasked with boosting enlistment in the armed forces, the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee occupied a central place in the government’s wartime communications machinery. Although the technology to enable the relatively inexpensive mass production of high quality images had been in existence for over a century, the First World War saw the first extensive use of posters for propaganda purposes. The British Parliamentary Recruiting Committee (PRC) was a thirty member body organized by political party organizers, under the supervision of the War Office, with the express aim of aiding the raising of troop numbers in Britain’s volunteer army. The main modes of appeal were through mass recruiting rallies and through posters and pamphlets that encouraged enlistment. Within a few weeks of the outbreak of the war the designs of poster began to incorporate striking graphic images. Some 200 different posters were produced and distributed by the PRC over the course of the War. War posters were intended to be ephemeral and never meant to be archival or historical documents. Yet, because of the content of the messages they projected they have become an important resource by which we can today explore the mind set of those who believed passionately in the rightness of the cause and the necessity to wage War between 1914 and 1918. Fair condition, paper losses, tears, staining and foxing. Country of issue: UK, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 76x50, year of printing: 1914.

Original vintage WWI propaganda poster: La Grande Guerre - Les Anglais à La Bassée… L'Heroisme de nos Allies (Text translates as: The Great War - The English at La Bassée - The heroism of our Allies). Woodcut print with hand colouring through stencils by Eduardo Garcia Benito (1891-1981) featuring a view of the English soldiers on the battlefield at La Basse-Givenchy, fighting against the Germans. The town of La Bassée, about 25km west of Lille, had been taken by Germany back in October. Control of nearby Givenchy was regained from Germany by the British at the end of December, at a cost of 6,000 lives (4,000 from the British side). Germany renewed counter efforts in January. On 25 January the Germans began to shell Béthune and pressed forward. Fighting lasted several days but La Bassée remained in Germany's possession. The town of Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée was completely destroyed in the fighting. There is a memorial in the village for the 55th (West Lancashire) Infantry Division, commemorating their courage. Print no. 44 from the 2nd series La Grande Guerre. Published by Tolmer & Co. Eduardo Benito was a Spanish fashion illustrator and painter, noted for his Vogue covers of the 1920s and 1930s. He studied at the Mignon studio, and later trained under Daniel Vierge. In 1912 he moved to Paris, he later spent 15 years painting Vogue covers.[1] Among Benito's subjects as a portrait painter were Alfonso XIII of Spain, Paul Poiret, and the Chinese Royal family. Also in 1912, he won a scholarship to study at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Good condition, minor tears, creases and foxing in margins.

Lot 344

Original vintage WWI propaganda poster: La Grande Guerre - En Avant!! (Text translates as: The Great War - Advance!). Woodcut print with hand colouring through stencils by Eduardo Garcia Benito (1891-1981) featuring a group of soliders standing in the trenches looking out for the enemy. This print takes as its subject the conflict in the Bois de la Grurie, in the forest of Argonne (France's Champagne region). Fierce fighting took place in this area as the German army tried to reach Verdun. Both sides dug trenches into the ground, which was dense with trees. French authorities were keen to encourage the French public to believe that there were legitimate grounds to hope for victory, but without the slightest suggestion that victory might be imminent. The image does not convey the horror of trench warfare, where mud-soaked soldiers lived in waterlogged dug-outs, without access to latrines and with no opportunity to dry their clothing. The wet also brought additional dangers: infections, infestations equipment failure and the collapse of trench walls. Print no. 35 from the 2nd series La Grande Guerre. Published by Tolmer & Co. Eduardo Benito was a Spanish fashion illustrator and painter, noted for his Vogue covers of the 1920s and 1930s. He studied at the Mignon studio, and later trained under Daniel Vierge. In 1912 he moved to Paris, he later spent 15 years painting Vogue covers. Among Benito's subjects as a portrait painter were Alfonso XIII of Spain, Paul Poiret, and the Chinese Royal family.

Kudzanai Chiurai (Zimbabwean, born 1981)End the Silence signed and dated 'Kudzi 2005' (lower right)oil, acrylic and spray paint on panel230 x 100cm (90 9/16 x 39 3/8in).(framed)Footnotes:ExhibitedJohannesburg, Obert Contemporary, 'Y Propaganda', May 2005.ProvenancePurchased from the Obert Gallery, South Africa; A private collection.The present work was completed by the artist in 2005 and exhibited at the Obert Contemporary Galley in the same year in the 2005 'Propaganda' exhibition. Believed to be a self portrait yet with the full identity of the subject concealed given the addition of a face mask and hat, End the Silence displays Kudzanai Chiurai's social political views, but also the tribulations the artist has personally experienced in his career and notions of identity.Chiurai examines different methods and disciplines when reflecting themes of politics, economics, psychology and philosophy. Born into a political climate of a newly independent Zimbabwe, however, upon criticising the Zimbabwean government in a series of paintings in 2008, the artist self- exiled himself to South Africa. It could be said that the present work, although preluding this break from Zimbabwe, acts as early evidence the artist's desire for free speech and also his view that he would not be granted it.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
