Later, he contributed regularly to a number of magazines, including Punch, the Strand Magazine and Tatler. As a commercial artist, he designed numerous posters and advertisements, especially in the 1910s and 1920s, for such brands as Rowntree's, Guinness and Bovril, and his series of ads for the Underground Electric Railways Company (the London Underground) are very well known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeete's work as a wartime propagandist includes the poster for which he is most renowned, the \u003cstrong\u003eLord Kitchener poster design\u003c\/strong\u003e, which first appeared on the cover of the weekly magazine London Opinion on 5 September 1914.
