EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative YMCA poster, designed by Adrian Gil-Spear in 1918, was created as part of the United War Work Campaign during the First World War. The title, "Lend Your Strength to the Red Triangle, Help the Y Help the Fighters Fight," calls on viewers to contribute their physical strength and labor to support the war effort. The image of a muscular worker, with bulging biceps and a determined expression, lifting a heavy load with the Red Triangle symbol prominently displayed on his chest, symbolizes the collective strength and unity needed to overcome the challenges of the war. The Red Triangle was a symbol used to represent the YMCA's work in industrial and manual labor industries. The poster's use of bold typography, strong lines, and dynamic composition effectively convey the sense of urgency and the importance of every individual's contribution to the war effort. This poster is a poignant reminder of the spirit of unity and determination that characterized the wartime era, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing people towards a common cause.
