Own a Piece of History! 1918 "Have You a Red Cross Service Flag?" Poster ✨
Step back into history with this original 1918 Red Cross poster. It is a poignant and touching piece of WWI-era Americana, beautifully preserving a time of nationwide unity and heartfelt service. Illustrated by the celebrated artist Jessie Willcox Smith, this lithograph captures the tender moment of a child hanging a Red Cross service flag in the window—a symbol of hope, sacrifice, and pride in supporting humanitarian efforts during World War I.
The poster radiates warmth, with Smith’s signature style of innocence and emotional depth shining through in the delicate depiction of the boy, the adorned window, and the serene winter backdrop. The vibrant red and white cross emblem on the service flag is a focal point of the artwork, inspiring viewers to reflect on the values of compassion and generosity that the Red Cross championed during this period.
As a significant historical artifact and a beautiful piece of early 20th-century American illustration, this poster would be an exceptional addition to any serious collection of WWI memorabilia...
