A lithograph captioned "Paris-Départ," with the note "Fr. G2" marking a fundraising goal, sets this 1917 poster apart from others promoting American aid to France. The American Fund for French Wounded, formed in 1916, collected money in the United States to support the care of French soldiers wounded in the war, including hospital and ambulance work. Posters like this one carried that appeal to American audiences, asking them to contribute to relief that was then a visible part of wartime life in France.
