EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the National Service appeal Giant poster on Waterloo Bridge, dated 3 April 1939. The image transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the thirties, a time when Europe was on the brink of great change. Alfieri's lens skillfully portrays this monumental propaganda piece that aimed to rally citizens for national service. The poster itself dominates the frame with its bold message: "We've got to be prepared". Its sheer size and strategic placement on Waterloo Bridge ensured maximum visibility, making it impossible for passersby to ignore. This powerful call-to-action reflects the prevailing sentiment of uncertainty and impending conflict that loomed over Europe during this era. Alfieri's choice of monochrome adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by his lens. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both the grandeur of the bridge structure as well as the stark simplicity of the poster design. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of a specific historical event but also of our collective responsibility towards our nation. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of peace or turmoil, unity is crucial for safeguarding our future. Alfieri's timeless snapshot encapsulates an important chapter in twentieth-century European history while inspiring contemplation about duty, patriotism, and preparedness for whatever challenges lie ahead.
