EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant poster, dated 1917, depicts a young girl wearing a scarf on her head, her hollow eyes and emaciated frame a heart-wrenching testament to the devastating impact of war and poverty. The title, "The child at your door 400, 000 orphans starving, no state aid available," underscores the urgent crisis unfolding before us. The poster was part of a campaign aimed at raising $30, 000, 000 to provide aid to orphans left destitute and without support during this tumultuous time. The image, a powerful call to action, was likely displayed on doors, walls, and public spaces to garner sympathy and support from the general public. The absence of state aid underscores the importance of collective action and the role of grassroots movements in addressing humanitarian crises. The haunting image of the child at the door serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring power of compassion and generosity to make a difference in the lives of those in need. The poster, a poignant relic of history, stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for empathy and compassion in the face of adversity. It also underscores the importance of advocacy and activism in bringing about positive change and providing support to those most in need.
