Your Opportunity To Help Him Stand Alone
c1929. Colour lithograph, printer’s line in lower margin, 76 x 51cm. Minor handling creases, toning and edge wear. Linen-backed.
A young man using crutches stands between an older woman and a nurse-like figure, stepping forward against radiating bands of yellow, orange, green and blue. Printed text continues “Give cheerfully to the Citizens’ Crippled Children Service Fund” and identifies the campaign office at Hotel Australia. The composition presents charitable support as a path toward physical independence, with the appeal’s principal phrase enlarged above the figures and the fund name stacked in emphatic capitals below. Printed by S.T. Leigh & Co Ltd at Raleigh Park, Kensington, the poster belongs to the Citizens’ Crippled Children Service Fund campaign active in Sydney in 1929. Its historical terminology is retained as printed and reflects contemporary charitable approaches to disability and rehabilitation.
