Original oil painting for the creation of an American Red Cross poster during World War I. This oil on paper board references the charity's popular fictionalized nurse character created by artist Alonzo Foringer: ''Our Greatest Mother''. Heavy paper board banner measures 36'' x 12''. Chipping to green lettering reveals earlier coat of red paint, suggesting design was reworked while in progress. Some wear to edges and crackling to lettering, else near fine.
