EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an advert for a concert held in 1917, with the sole purpose of supporting soldiers who were injured during World War I. Created by the talented artists Garratt & Atkinson, this advertisement exudes a sense of patriotism and compassion. The image was skillfully printed using Mander Brothers inks, ensuring its high quality. The silhouette-style design captures the essence of the era, evoking a feeling of nostalgia. It portrays a soldier on crutches alongside another in a wheelchair, symbolizing the disabilities that many brave servicemen faced as a result of their sacrifices on the battlefield. This poignant visual representation highlights both their courage and resilience. Published in The British Printer Vol. XXX by Raithby, Lawrence & Co. , this advert serves as an important historical artifact from early 20th-century Britain. It not only promotes the concert but also raises awareness about disability and emphasizes society's responsibility to support those affected by war injuries. The lithograph demonstrates how printing played a crucial role in disseminating information during this time period. By utilizing this medium effectively, manufacturers like Mander Brothers contributed to fundraising efforts for disabled soldiers through advertising campaigns such as this one. Overall, this powerful image encapsulates both artistic excellence and social consciousness while commemorating those who sacrificed so much for their country during World War I.
