EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in American history - the Liberty Bond Meet on October 19, 1917. Crowds of patriotic citizens gather in front of the iconic Sub-Treasury building on Wall Street, their faces filled with determination and pride as they support the war effort during World War I.
In the midst of the crowd, bagpipers in traditional kilts add a touch of Scottish flair to the scene, symbolizing unity and strength in diversity. The clock tower looming overhead serves as a reminder that time is of the essence in supporting our country's financial needs during wartime.
Renowned comedian Harry Lauder takes center stage at this important fundraiser, using his wit and charm to inspire generosity among attendees. His presence adds a sense of levity to an otherwise serious occasion, showing that even in times of crisis, there is room for laughter and camaraderie.
As we gaze upon this historic image captured by George Graham Bain for Bain News Service, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by previous generations to ensure our freedom and prosperity today. Let us honor their legacy by continuing to support our country's values and ideals for future generations to come.
