EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1917 showcases a powerful Red Cross poster that aimed to raise funds for the war effort during World War I. The lithograph, created by L. N. Britton, depicts Europeans and war veterans gazing upon a cityscape adorned with iconic American landmarks. As they stand before this unfamiliar landscape, their expressions convey both hope and uncertainty. The focal point of the poster is undoubtedly the prominent American Red Cross symbol, serving as a beacon of aid and support amidst the chaos of war. Its presence reminds viewers of the organization's crucial role in providing assistance to those affected by conflict. In this vintage advertisement, we witness a poignant juxtaposition between destitution and patriotism. A man and woman are depicted in rear view, representing not only individuals impacted by poverty but also wounded soldiers who have sacrificed so much for their countries. The inclusion of notable American landmarks such as the Capitol building further emphasizes America's involvement on an international scale during this tumultuous period in history. Through its thought-provoking imagery and evocative text, this Red Cross poster serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience in times of crisis while highlighting the importance of unity across nations during times of war.
