This Spanish-language poster, titled "Emblemas de la libertad y de la humanidad," calls the Red Cross "Madre de todas las naciones" and shows the American and Nicaraguan flags beside a nurse. That pairing points to an appeal aimed at Spanish-speaking readers in the Americas rather than only at English-speaking Americans. The United States entered the First World War in April 1917, and the American Red Cross expanded its relief work in the years that followed, relying on posters like this one to draw donations and volunteers. The poster's mix of national symbols and medical imagery shows how the organization presented wartime care as a shared humanitarian cause.
