The picture I chose to examine is titled "Line Up, Boys! Enlist To-Day". I chose the picture for several reasons, one of them being the impact it had on men, but the women they lived with. The poster displays a line of soldiers walking happily in uniforms, holding guns and laughing simultaneously. This poster although aimed at men, left women searching for a purpose in the war. It reminded me of Vera Brittain's interest in whatever role she could play in the war. On page five of "Introduction: Reading World War I Posters"  it says, "The unprecedented use of posters...and the marvelous results attained by the means of them, has impressed the power of the medium upon the world's population so forcibly that all doubt that may have existed as to its efficacy has been permanently removed". Although it has been repetitive in the class thus far, it is truly unbelievable that posters of soldiers walking in a line had the power to persaude an entire generation to join the work force.
