EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from 1918, obtained from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a powerful call to action from American President Woodrow Wilson, inviting the public to join the Red Cross in its humanitarian efforts during a pivotal moment in world history. The design features a striking image of the Red Cross emblem, with its bold red cross on a white background, framed by the stars and stripes of the American flag. The quotation from Wilson, "I summon you to comradeship in the Red Cross," is prominently displayed in bold, black text, conveying a sense of urgency and unity. The Red Cross, an international humanitarian organization founded in 1863, had long been active in providing aid during wars and natural disasters. However, during World War I, its role expanded significantly, with the organization providing essential services to soldiers and civilians on the home front and in war zones. The poster reflects the organization's commitment to alleviating suffering and promoting peace, even during a time of conflict. Wilson's use of the word "comradeship" is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights the sense of community and solidarity that the Red Cross fostered during this period. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the organization's important role in history and its enduring mission to provide aid and comfort to those in need, regardless of the challenges that the world may present. The poster's historical significance is further underscored by the context of the time, with the First World War raging across Europe and the world grappling with the aftermath of the Spanish Flu pandemic. Despite the turmoil, the Red Cross continued to provide vital services, demonstrating the power of human compassion and resilience in the face of adversity.
