The Red Cross was a critical part of each of America's World Wars. During the war years, female Red Cross volunteers provided critical services in field hospitals and evacuation hospitals, on hospital trains and ships, and as flight nurses on medical transport planes. Red Cross nurses saw equal amounts (if not more) war atrocities than some of the men fighting did. The Red Cross needed all the financial help it could get from stateside civilians to help mend injured soldiers on the bloody battlefields. President Roosevelt called The Red Cross' work at this time the "greatest single crusade of mercy in all of history."

John Whitman, Jr. (1896-1967) was an American illustrator who also served as a corporal in the Army during WWII. His commercial illustration background is extremely noticeable in the several posters he designed for the war effort.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
