Illustrator Harrison Fisher, known for his idealized portraits of young American women, made this color lithograph urging viewers to answer the Red Cross Christmas roll call. The roll call was the Red Cross's yearly drive to enroll members and collect contributions, and during the First World War it became an important source of money and volunteer support for relief work at home and overseas. The poster's subject headings, which include nurses and war funds, reflect that wartime purpose. Its circa 1918 date places it in the war's final year, when appeals like this were especially urgent.
