Harrison Fisher, the illustrator known for his polished portraits of American women, applied that style to this 1918 color lithograph urging Americans to answer the Red Cross Christmas roll call. Such annual drives enrolled members and raised funds, and during the First World War they became a central part of the organization's national effort. Posters like this one were typically displayed in public places to reach a broad audience. The record also links the image to nursing and war-fund work, the areas where Red Cross volunteers were most visible at the time.
