EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Scottish comedian Harry Lauder in all his glory, as he stands on the steps in front of the Sub-Treasury during a Liberty Loan meeting in New York City on 19th October 1917. Dressed in traditional Highland attire, complete with a kilt and sporran, Lauder exudes charm and charisma as he addresses the crowd gathered before him.
The image is steeped in historical significance, offering a glimpse into the patriotic fervor that swept through America during World War I. As one of Britain's most beloved entertainers, Sir Harry Lauder played a crucial role in raising funds for the war effort through his performances and speeches.
The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of this photograph, transporting viewers back to a pivotal moment in history when countries came together to support their troops on the front lines. The architectural backdrop of the Sub-Treasury building serves as a reminder of the financial sacrifices made by ordinary citizens to ensure victory over tyranny.
In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not just an entertainer but a symbol of resilience and unity during times of adversity. Harry Lauder's legacy lives on through images like these, reminding us of our shared past and collective strength as nations united against common foes.
