 He claims the original artwork was acquired by the Imperial War Museum in 1917 and catalogued as a poster in error.Though the image of Kitchener (Britain's most popular soldier) inspired several other poster designs, Taylor says he can find no evidence that the poster was as popular or influential as later stated having examined many contemporary photographs, although a photograph from 15 December 1914 taken at the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway station in Liverpool clearly depicts Leete's depiction among other recruiting posters.The effectiveness of the image upon the viewer is attributed to what E. B. Goldstein has called the 'differential rotation effect.'
