EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history, as Scottish comedian Harry Lauder stands proudly on the steps in front of the Sub-Treasury during World War I. The date is 19th October 1917, and Lauder is preparing to speak at a noonday Liberty Loan meeting, rallying support for the war effort.
Clad in traditional Highland dress, complete with a kilt and sporran, Lauder cuts an impressive figure against the backdrop of New York City. His presence commands attention from the gathered crowd, who listen intently to his words of encouragement and patriotism.
The black and white image lends a timeless quality to this snapshot of wartime America. The building behind him serves as a symbol of strength and resilience, mirroring the determination seen on Lauder's face.
As one of Britain's most beloved entertainers, Sir Harry Lauder was known for using his fame to raise funds for charitable causes. In this photograph, we see him embodying that spirit once again as he uses his platform to support the war effort.
This piece of heritage art from Bain News Service offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when individuals like Harry Lauder played an important role in shaping public opinion and inspiring unity during times of crisis.
