Some information about the artist:
Muralist, painter and designer, Arthur Watkins Crisp, was born April 26, 1881 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His art studies were with John S. Gordon, 1898-1899, at the Hamilton Art School, and the Art Students League in New York City, 1900-1903. Crisp was a founder of the Allied Artists of America, New York Water Color Club, and American Water Color Society, all in New York City. He also was a member of other New York City groups, including the Architectural League of New York.
When faced with an unprecedented need for its service during World War I, the American National Red Cross responded by engaging for the first time in a series of national fund-raising campaigns that used advertising to appeal directly to the American people for money and support. The "War Fund" drives, the first held in June 1917 and the second in May 1918, each sought to raise the extraordinarily large sum of 0 million to finance the organization's war relief efforts. Posters represented one of the most popular components of these campaigns. Some of the most common themes included: "The Greatest Mother in the World," "All you need is a heart and a dollar," and "Keep this hand of mercy at its work." The public response was immediate and overwhelming with donations significantly surpassing the 0 million mark within just a few days on both occasions: together the "War Fund" drives succeeded in raising 0 million for the American National Red Cross.
