EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the essence of a World War I poster issued in 1917 by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East. Titled "Lest They Perish" this lithograph aimed to raise $30,000,000 to aid Armenia, Greece, Syria, and Persia during a time of great turmoil. The image depicts a woman and child amidst ruins, symbolizing the devastation caused by war. The woman's expression reflects both resilience and despair as she clutches her child tightly. Their presence amidst the destruction serves as a poignant reminder of the innocent lives affected by conflict. The artist skillfully portrays their vulnerability against a backdrop of crumbling buildings and debris. This artwork not only showcases exceptional artistic talent but also highlights humanity's capacity for compassion and empathy. It calls upon viewers to recognize the urgent need for relief efforts in war-torn regions and emphasizes our shared responsibility to help those less fortunate. As we gaze upon this historic photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded that even though it was created over a century ago, its message remains relevant today. It serves as an enduring testament to the power of art in raising awareness about global issues and inspiring action towards positive change.
