An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War I Red Cross Poster (measures 8 1/2" x 42" [22 x 107 cm]) (Learn More)

Universal Membership Week, the 1918 World War I (WWI) banner poster ("Red Cross Christmas Roll Call, December 16-23") promoting charity fundraising for the Red Cross, and featuring great Harrison Fisher art of a nurse with a hand outstretched at left and a nurse cradling a wounded soldier at right. Harrison Fisher was one of the top illustrators of the 1910s to the 1920s, and he did many magazine covers, and undoubtedly, this was his contribution to the war effort (and the Red Cross). This poster is certainly an unusual size, and we don't know how it was used (perhaps it was placed above podiums where contributions were solicited).
Artist: Harrison Fisher

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was folded down the center and also vertically to the left of the "U" of "Universal". There were some tiny bits of paper loss on those folds and pinholes in the corners, with a few small tears and tiny paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
