EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a fundraising campaign for the Belgian Canal Boat Fund during World War I. Created by renowned artist John Hassall, this color lithograph depicts a scene filled with emotive elements that tug at the heartstrings. In the foreground, we see a group of children and their mother, representing the war-torn families affected by homelessness and displacement. The young boys stand tall, symbolizing resilience in the face of adversity, while a little girl clings to her mother for comfort. Their expressions reflect both hope and desperation as they seek relief from behind enemy lines. The backdrop showcases windmills against an ominous sky, emphasizing Belgium's picturesque landscape marred by destruction. These wind turbines once represented prosperity but now serve as reminders of devastation caused by war. The poster's message is clear: "Send them Something". It urges viewers to contribute funds to support these vulnerable communities struggling amidst wartime chaos. The image evokes empathy and compassion towards those caught in poverty and precariousness due to conflict. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from 1914-18, it serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for kindness even in times of great turmoil. This print not only preserves an important moment in history but also inspires us to continue supporting those affected by war today.
