This piece titled, How Much… (War Fund Week—Red Cross) by Canadian artist Arthur Watkins Crisp, illustrates a nurse surrounded by orphaned, starving children carrying French flags and a woman kneeling in front of the nurse to present an infant. This compassionate nurse is depicted as a “savior” and motherly figure to these abandoned children whose role is to care and shelter them in the harsh times of World War I. The purpose of this poster is to promote War Fund Week, held during the last week of May in the United States by the Red Cross during World War I, to raise money for resources such as food, clothing, and toys for poor, innocent children in France. —Clarissa Silvestre 12
