Its question, "What are you doing to help?", was a direct appeal to the American public, and the poster was made for the American Red Cross, which relied heavily on wartime membership drives and volunteer labor. The artist, Gordon Grant, was better known as a marine painter and illustrator, and his work for the Red Cross shows the organization's wartime and postwar focus on nursing and health care. The subjects listed for the print point to the Red Cross's role in caring for soldiers and civilians during the First World War. Dated to about 1919, the lithograph was printed after the armistice, when the organization was still seeking support for its medical and relief work.
