Titled "The Comforter," this 1918 American Red Cross poster by illustrator Gordon Grant focuses on the gentler side of wartime nursing rather than the battlefield itself. Its subject headings link it to the Red Cross's public relations efforts and to the medical toll of World War I on American forces, and its emphasis on a nurse's care reflects how the organization presented itself while raising funds and recruiting volunteers. Printed in offset color, it shows how the Red Cross used commissioned artists and mass-produced posters to reach the public during the war years.
