EDITORS COMMENTS
**"Patriotism in Action: Recruiting for World War I at Flatiron Building"**
In this striking photograph taken between 1917-1918, the iconic Flatiron Building stands tall on Broadway, New York City. But it's not just its architectural grandeur that catches our attention - it's the bold recruiting signage plastered across its facade. "Your Country Needs You," reads the banner in large letters, a poignant reminder of America's entry into World War I.
As people go about their daily business on Broadway, they're confronted with this powerful call to action. The image is a testament to the country's determination to support the war effort and contribute its share of troops to the Allied forces. With its sleek skyscrapers, bustling streets, and patriotic fervor, this photograph captures a pivotal moment in American history - one that would shape the course of global politics for generations to come.
The Bain News Service photographer has expertly framed the scene, emphasizing the Flatiron Building's striking design while also capturing the energy and urgency of wartime recruitment efforts. This haunting yet hopeful image serves as a poignant reminder of America's role on the world stage during World War I - an era marked by great sacrifice, perseverance, and ultimately, victory.
