EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful propaganda poster from World War I, created by the talented artist Howard Chandler Christy. Titled "Spirit of America: Join" this iconic artwork was designed to inspire patriotism and pride among Americans during a time of great turmoil. The image depicts a young woman, waist up, in a studio shot with her gaze directed upwards towards the American flag. With her blonde hair flowing and wearing a distinctive headdress, she represents the spirit of America. The focal point of the poster is undoubtedly the red cross emblem prominently displayed on her chest, symbolizing the vital role played by the American Red Cross in providing medical aid during wartime. This illustration and painting perfectly encapsulates an important chapter in American history as it reflects both artistry and craft. Created in 1919, this vertical piece captures not only the essence of that era but also serves as a reminder of how media has been used throughout history to influence public opinion. The use of Western script further emphasizes its connection to American culture. Howard Chandler Christy's masterpiece stands as an enduring testament to the dedication and sacrifice made by countless individuals during World War I. It reminds us all that unity and compassion are essential values that transcend time and continue to shape our society today.
