The title casts the American Red Cross as "the greatest mother," and the poster's appeal to join "yesterday, today, always" makes that promise of lasting care its central message. Lawrence Wilbur's color lithograph was printed in New York by Snyder & Black and is dated to about 1917, the year the United States entered the First World War. Red Cross membership drives during the war relied on posters like this to recruit members and volunteers, and the subject note on medical aspects of the war reflects how central nursing and relief work were to that appeal.
