The open blue triangle beside the lettering marks this 1918 poster as a call for wartime relief work, a symbol tied to volunteer service on the home front. Howard Chandler Christy, known for his glamorous magazine illustrations, is credited as the artist, and Halsted Frances Adams is named as designer. The poster's subjects, including the economic side of the war and the American flag, show how civilian groups asked citizens to back the war effort through donations, purchases, and volunteer labor.
