EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "Canadian War Photographs," was displayed at the Grafton Galleries in London between 1914 and 1918. The poster, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War, features a solitary soldier taking a moment of respite from the harsh realities of the battlefield. The soldier, with a determined and weary expression on his face, leans against a makeshift barrier, his helmet resting on the ground beside him. His uniform is worn and faded, a testament to the long months spent in the trenches. In his hand, he holds a cigarette, its smoke curling up into the grey sky. A tin, perhaps containing food or supplies, lies at his feet. The poster's background is a collage of photographs, depicting scenes of Canadian soldiers in various stages of the war. The images, some showing the soldiers in training, others in the midst of battle, add depth and context to the image of the lone soldier. The poster's text, printed in bold letters, reads "Daily Admission: Sixpence," inviting Londoners to view the Canadian War Photographs exhibition. The use of colour in the poster, rare during this time, adds a sense of urgency and importance to the image. This powerful poster is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the resilience and determination of the soldiers who fought in it. It is a testament to the historical significance of the First World War and the sacrifices made by the Canadian troops.
