EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an iconic American Red Cross nurse recruiting poster from the early 20th century. Created around 1914, during the tumultuous years of World War I, this powerful image encapsulates the spirit and dedication of these brave women who served on the frontlines. The poster features a woman dressed in a traditional nurse's uniform, adorned with a red cross symbol on her cape. Her poised and determined expression reflects her commitment to providing aid and care to those in need. The text on the poster emphasizes the urgent call for nurses to join their ranks during this critical time. Authored by William Crawford Gorgas, Surgeon General of the United States Army at that time, this recruitment campaign aimed to rally patriotic women across America to support their country by becoming Red Cross nurses. It was through their selfless service that countless lives were saved and comforted amidst the chaos of war. This historic photograph not only captures an important moment in American history but also serves as a reminder of the resilience and compassion displayed by these courageous women. As we reflect upon their sacrifices, let us honor their legacy by recognizing the invaluable role played by nurses throughout history in times of crisis and conflict.
