EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history during World War I, featuring the renowned Scottish comedian Harry Lauder. Taken on 19th October 1917, this image shows Lauder standing proudly on the steps in front of the Sub-Treasury in New York City, preparing to address a noonday Liberty Loan meeting.
Dressed in traditional Highland attire, complete with a kilt and sporran, Lauder exudes charisma and charm as he speaks to the gathered crowd about the importance of supporting the war effort through financial contributions. His presence commands attention, embodying both patriotism and entertainment in equal measure.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from over a century ago, transporting us back to a time when unity and sacrifice were paramount. The backdrop of the Congressional Library further emphasizes the significance of this event within American history.
As we gaze upon this piece of heritage art captured by George Graham Bain for Bain News Service, we are reminded of the power that individuals like Harry Lauder had in rallying communities together for a common cause. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and collective resilience during times of adversity.
