Answer the call" opens Ray Greenleaf's lithograph, which invites Americans to join the American Red Cross Christmas Roll Call with the promise that "All you need is a heart and a dollar." Printed in Buffalo, New York, around 1918 and issued through the Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity, it belongs to the federal effort to rally support for World War I. The Red Cross used its roll call to sign up members during the war's final year, and the poster shows how a membership drive could be presented as a simple, personal act of generosity.
