EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant propaganda card from circa 1915, published by the Italian Red Cross, captures the spirit of patriotism and compassion during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The image portrays an injured Italian soldier, lying on a makeshift stretcher, surrounded by the chaos of war. Amidst the destruction and despair, a figure personifying the Italian Health Service approaches, offering comfort and solace. The tender moment between the two symbolizes the hope and healing that the Red Cross represented for the wounded soldiers of Italy. The card, which functions as a stamp, was designed to encourage Italians to contribute to this noble cause. The phrase "AIUTATE IL ROSSO CROCE" (Help the Red Cross) is prominently displayed, emphasizing the importance of collective action in providing aid to those in need. The image of the Red Cross wagons in the background further underscores the organization's role in transporting supplies and medical personnel to the front lines. The use of patriotic imagery, such as the Italian flag and the soldier's uniform, serves to evoke a sense of national pride and duty. The card's powerful message resonated with the Italian population, inspiring them to support the Red Cross and contribute to the war effort. This poignant piece of history serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the importance of coming together to provide aid and comfort to those in need.
