First World War period propaganda poster with the heading text ‘TAKE UP THE SWORD OF JUSTICE’ above an image a female figure rising from the sea to offer a sword, with a sinking ship and drowning victims in the distance. Possibly a reference to the sinking of the LUSITANIA. The poster was published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, London in 1915. – 2012.102.21 – McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Greenock
