EDITORS COMMENTS
August 20th marks a momentous occasion in Times Square as women of the Woman's Reserve Camouflage Corps of the National League for Woman's Service take up brushes to paint a vibrant War Savings Stamp theater. This historic scene captures the spirit of patriotism and unity during World War I, as American citizens rallied behind their country's war effort.
In this striking black-and-white photograph by Bain News Service, women in uniforms and headscarves work together with ladders and buckets to transform the iconic Times Square Theater into a colorful advertisement for buying War Savings Stamps. The image is not only a testament to the power of collective action but also highlights the vital role that women played on the home front during this tumultuous period.
As we gaze upon this photograph, taken by George Grantham Bain in 1918, we are reminded of the resilience and determination displayed by American citizens as they worked together to support their country's war efforts. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the triumphs achieved during one of history's most trying times.
