This lithograph carries the headline "Keep this hand of mercy at its work," urging viewers to support a $100 million drive during War Fund Week in 1918. The American Red Cross issued it during the second of its wartime fundraising campaigns, when the organization was raising money for relief, hospital work, and aid to soldiers at home and overseas. Artist P.G. Morgan built the appeal around the idea of a helping hand, and the poster's subject headings, which include medical aspects of war and anatomy, reflect the wounds and suffering the campaign aimed to ease.
