EDITORS COMMENTS
Poster advertising a fundraising event for the National Fund for the Welsh Troops, 1st March, 1915". This vibrant and historically significant lithograph captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by renowned artist Frank Brangwyn in London, this poster serves as an invitation to a grand matinee fundraising event held on St. David's Day in support of the National Fund for the Welsh Troops during World War I. The poster showcases an explosion of colors and emotions, symbolizing both patriotism and unity. A brave soldier stands proudly at its center, his gun raised high against a backdrop that hints at the horrors of war. With its striking illustration and powerful imagery, this artwork aims to rally support from audiences across London's West End. Taking place at the prestigious Alhambra Theatre in Leicester Square, this event sought to raise funds crucial for supporting Welsh troops fighting on foreign soil. The significance of St. David's Day adds cultural depth to this occasion, celebrating Wales' national day while honoring those who fought valiantly. As we gaze upon this piece from our Historica Graphica Collection today, it serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and solidarity during World War I. Let us remember those who bravely served their country while appreciating art's ability to capture history's most profound moments.
