EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment soprano opera singer Geraldine Farrar took to the stage to sell Liberty bonds during World War I. The concert was part of the Women's War Relief Association's Liberty Theater, set up in front of the iconic New York Public Library on 5th Avenue and 42nd Street. As crowds gathered to watch her performance, Farrar used her incredible talent to appeal to the public to support the war effort by purchasing bonds.
The image, captured by Bain News Service, showcases not only a moment in history but also highlights the important role that artists played in fundraising during times of conflict. With black and white tones adding a sense of nostalgia, this photograph transports us back to a time when unity and patriotism were at the forefront of American society.
Geraldine Farrar's powerful voice echoed through the streets of New York City as she sang for a cause greater than herself. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how individuals from all walks of life came together to support their country during one of its most challenging moments. It is a testament to both Farrar's talent and her dedication to using it for good.
