This Spanish-language poster, titled *Emblemas de la libertad y de la humanidad* ("Emblems of Liberty and Humanity"), presents the Red Cross as "Mother of all nations." Its pairing of the American and Bolivian flags with a nurse signals an appeal beyond the United States, to audiences in Latin America during the First World War. The American Red Cross expanded its wartime medical and relief work substantially between 1914 and 1918, and posters like this one helped recruit support and donations across the hemisphere. Look closely at how the lithograph combines national symbols with the image of care, a common strategy for linking humanitarian aid to patriotic feeling.
