Sobre este artículo
[United States, ca. 1918]. "Bulletin No. 9." Color lithograph poster. 21 x 14 inches. Printed in two columns. Illustration. Fine condition.
The American Red Cross experienced tremendous growth as a national humanitarian organization after the United States' entry into the First World War in April 1917. President Woodrow Wilson appointed a War Council to direct its activities.
In this poster, the American Red Cross highlights the industry of its mostly women volunteers who labored in dedicated Red Cross workrooms producing surgical dressings, knitted articles, refugee garments and hospital garments and supplies. "In the last year alone the supplies produced by these women were valued at approximately $59,000,000. No statistician, however, is capable of estimating the spiritual value of their product, the tenderness, the patriotic fervor, the prayers that have been stitched or knitted into each article."
The poster depicts a female Red Cross nurse and volunteer. This illustrayiom is signed "Dexter" -likely the American artist Wilson C. Dexter.
