EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant World War I poster, designed by the renowned British artist Frank Brangwyn in circa 1916, powerfully conveys the urgent need for humanitarian aid during a time of great distress and displacement. The Belgian & Allies Aid League poster, titled "Will you help these sufferers from the war to start a new home. Help is better than sympathy," was created to raise funds for the countless Belgians left homeless by the ravages of war. The image portrays a distressed and displaced family, huddled together amidst the ruins of their former home, looking up with hopeful eyes towards the viewer. The caption implores the public to offer more than just sympathy, but to take action and provide much-needed assistance to help these families start anew. Brangwyn's masterful use of color and composition effectively evokes a sense of compassion and empathy, making this poster a powerful tool in the fundraising efforts of the Belgian & Allies Aid League. This vintage poster serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of charitable support during times of crisis. Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956) was a prolific British artist, known for his diverse body of work, which included painting, printmaking, and book illustration. His designs for posters during World War I are particularly notable for their emotional impact and their role in raising awareness and funds for various war relief efforts.
