Shall chaos triumph?" poses the question at the center of this 1919 lithograph, which urges American Presbyterians to support a Victory Fund campaign as part of the church's New Era Movement. The poster links a religious appeal to the postwar moment, when the country was still absorbing the costs of World War I and church leaders were asking members to fund missions and charitable work. The catalog record credits the design to Joseph Binder, while the title line names M. Leone Bracker, so the attribution is worth checking. Printed in color by the American Lithographic Co. in New York, it shows how churches borrowed commercial poster art to raise money after the war.
