EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from October 1917 captures the patriotic spirit of Mrs. J.F. Curtis during World War I. In the image, we see Mrs. Curtis, also known as Laura Beatrice Merriam, proudly holding a poster for the 2nd Liberty Loan of 1917. Her husband, James F. Curtis, served as an Assistant Secretary at the Treasury Department, making her support for the war effort even more significant.
Standing behind Mrs. Curtis is an Italian American woman who had three sons fighting in Europe, symbolizing the unity and sacrifice of families across America during this tumultuous time in history.
The photograph taken by Bain News Service perfectly encapsulates the era with its powerful imagery and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and resilience shown by women like Mrs. J.F. Curtis on the home front during World War I.
As we reflect on this moment captured over a century ago, let us remember those who bravely supported their country during times of war and honor their contributions to our shared history.
