Left behind in Serbia" asks American viewers to send money for the women and children left without the men of their families, and it directs donors to the Serbian Relief office at 70 Fifth Avenue in New York. Boardman Robinson, an illustrator known for his political cartoons and lithographs, made the image in 1918, after Serbia had been overrun during the war and its civilians faced hunger and disease. Relief committees in the United States used posters like this one to collect donations by appealing directly to readers' sympathies. Its focus on families rather than the battlefield shows how wartime charity campaigns presented giving as a personal duty.
