This 1917 color lithograph poster carries the French title *Comité Américain pour les Régions Dévastées de France* and is signed "Geo Cap." Its catalog subjects are mothers and children, war relief, and the economic toll of the war in France, which points to an appeal for aid to families in the zones of northern France that German occupation and fighting had devastated. The American committee raised funds and supplied rebuilding and relief work in those regions during and after the war, and posters like this one helped bring American attention and donations to that effort. Its size, 120 by 78 centimeters, suggests it was meant to be seen from a distance on city streets and in public buildings.
