Here the words do much of the work: a line attributed to President Woodrow Wilson calls Americans to "comradeship" in the American Red Cross, and the illustration by Harrison Fisher, a popular magazine artist known for idealized portraits of women, lends the appeal a warm, familiar face. Printed in New York by the American Lithographic Co. in 1918, the poster belongs to the wartime effort to raise money and recruit members for the Red Cross while the United States was fighting in World War I. Its catalog subjects also point to war bonds, funds, and the American flag, which together show how civilian giving was tied to patriotism during those years.
