A Linenbacked Special Poster (measures 24 1/4" x 37 3/4" [62 x 96 cm]) (Learn More) Happy Childhood the World Over, the 1919 poster ("Join the Junior Red Cross") encouraging people to join the Red Cross, and featuring Anna Milo Upjohn artwork of a girl flying a kite with other children in the background. Note that Inglis Fletcher created the Junior Red Cross (which you likely never heard of) in 1917, through a proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson, shortly after the U.S. entered World War I. It encouraged U.S. children to "do without", so that they could better understand how the suffering child victims of World War I felt (especially in Belgium). In 1918, it stated that it wanted to teach "the boys and girls of this country to eat less candy and give up sweet drinks", and we know how incredibly well that worked out! The children would also knit scarves and work in victory gardens and raise money for WWI orphans. Artist: Anna Milo Upjohn Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster!
