Picture of the day
A poster from
Wales
advertising a fundraising event to support Welsh troops in the
First World War
. The
United Kingdom during this period
underwent a number of societal changes, mainly due to wartime events: many of the class barriers of
Edwardian England
were diminished, women were drawn into mainstream employment and were granted
suffrage
as a result, and increased
national sentiment
helped to fuel the break up of the
British Empire
.
Artist:
Frank Brangwyn
