The Storming of the Heights of Cerro Gordo in 1847 witnessed their unwavering determination, depicted vividly in a striking colour lithograph. As time progressed, the Red Cross Recruitment Poster from 1918 called upon individuals with its powerful message - "We Need You. " This captivating colour lithograph urged people to join forces and support those who had sacrificed their well-being for others. The Armistice Night in 1918 marked an end to World War I, immortalized on canvas. Amidst celebrations and relief, one cannot overlook the wounded soldiers whose sacrifices paved the way for peace. Facing an uncertain future, the US Red Cross Poster titled Facing the Future portrayed hope amidst adversity through vibrant colours. It emphasized that even though wounds may heal slowly, there is always light at the end of every tunnel. During World War I's darkest days, fundraising posters like that for Belgian Red Cross served as beacons of compassion. These colourful lithographs united communities worldwide in supporting injured soldiers far from home. Looking back further into history reveals illustrations depicting wounded soldiers found within The Works of Hippocrates. These images remind us that caring for those injured has been essential since ancient times. Sheet Music Cover "A Message from the Battlefield" published in 1864 evokes emotions through coloured lithography. Its poignant melody echoes tales of bravery while urging society not to forget those who have suffered on behalf of others' freedom. Crimea's Study of a Wounded Guardsman captured on oil board transports us to another era where sacrifice was palpable. Through brush strokes and shadows cast by candlelight, we witness both physical pain and indomitable spirit etched onto this artwork forevermore.
