"I Summon You to Comradeship in the Red Cross" - Historic WWI Poster by James Montgomery Flagg #2351895 (License: Personal Use)

This 1918 propaganda poster, illustrated by James Montgomery Flagg, features a determined young woman wrapped in the U.S. flag, holding a Red Cross banner, with the Capitol dome faintly visible in the background. The text, quoting President Woodrow Wilson, urges patriotic duty through humanitarian aid, blending national symbolism with wartime urgency. The composition uses dynamic drapery, expressive gesture, and stark color contrast (red, white, blue, and the bold Red Cross emblem) to inspire enlistment and donations.

Used historically in public campaigns to recruit volunteers and donors for the American Red Cross during WWI; today it appears in museum exhibits, educational resources on wartime propaganda, and historical articles about civic engagement and visual rhetoric.
