1917 RED CROSS NURSE POSTER MOTHER WWI VINTAGE WAR World War I
Product Description
The2FunAdGuyz offer a new, high-quality, reproduction print of an eye-catching 1917 poster that captures that special genre of World War 1 era posters—Red Cross posters—those for raising funds to support nurses to provide care for the American troops and foreign civilians trapped in war zones. At a time when private institutions and groups provided care for wounded troops, The Red Cross stood then, as today, as a shining example of charity.
Description: The artist, remarkably only 18 years old at the time, created a poignant image. In the background are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, representing war and all the ills that can befall humans, galloping forward leaving devastation and destruction. A serene Red Cross nurse, representing the nurturing care of a mother, holds a young girl while she beckons the viewer. In the sea of horror that was the World War 1 era, the nurse stands as an important symbol of what was still right with the world—offering care and comfort. This is truly a must have collectible for anyone who is or knows a nurse.
Headline: Our Greatest Mother - Join!
Artist: Cornelius ''Connie'' Hicks (American, 1899-1931), a popular artist, painter and illustrator is probably best remembered for this work, painted when he was still a teenager. Unfortunately, he died when he was only 32.
PAPER QUALITY: This new print is on a highest quality, acid-free, 100-pound glossy premium text paper that allows for maximum color brilliance and fidelity for older images.
AVAILABILITY: In Stock! – Ships Within 1 Business Day of cleared payment.
Image Size: 10.5 inches wide by 16.5 inches high.
Paper Size: 11 inches wide by 17 inches high. This allows for a small border around the image for matting and framing. When matted, this format is perfect for a standard 16-inch x 20-inch frame, a manageable size for a wide variety of decorating purposes.
