EDITORS COMMENTS
August 12, 1914: A Call to Action from Tatler Magazine's First War-Time Issue Amidst the ominous backdrop of the outbreak of the First World War, the August 12, 1914 issue of Tatler magazine marked its first foray into war reporting. This historic page, filled with evocative images and a heartfelt appeal to its prosperous readership, serves as a poignant reminder of the collective spirit of sacrifice and solidarity that emerged during this tumultuous period. The page features two striking photographs: one of King George V and Queen Mary, their regal countenances exuding a sense of determination and resilience, and the other, an empty chair adorned with a laurel wreath and a rolled-up copy of Tatler, symbolizing the vacant seat of a soldier at the front. Beneath these images, an earnest letter to the readers implores them to do all they can to help the various charitable societies that have sprung into action on behalf of the brave men who are now fighting for their country and those dependent on them. The appeal underscores the critical role that individual efforts could play in supporting the war effort and alleviating the hardships faced by those on the home front. As the world teetered on the brink of unprecedented chaos, Tatler's first war-time issue served as a clarion call for action, rallying its readers to join the collective endeavor to support the troops and weather the storm of the Great War. This evocative page stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of community during times of crisis.
