Its wording sets this appeal apart: the poster asks British viewers whether the homeless women and children of Poland need be "far from your hearts." Credited to the artist E. Verpillevy and printed by Miles & Co. in London, it belongs to the wave of wartime posters that asked civilians at home to give money to relief funds. In 1915, fighting between Russian and German armies moved across Polish territory and left many families without shelter, the hardship the poster asks its audience to help ease.
