WWI, Share, Jewish Relief Campaign, 1917

"Entitled: "Share - Jewish Relief Campaign". Poster showing a monumental female figure with a tray of food, poor women and children at her feet, with the skyline of New York City in the background. In the early days of WW, groups representing three diverse communities of American Jews raised funds to aid endangered Jews abroad. To ensure the maximum benefit from these independent efforts, they formed a Joint Distribution Committee of Funds for Jewish War Sufferers (now known as JDC). By the war's end, JDC had spent $15 million on the crucial work of saving lives. Posters were effective visual tools used by JDC to galvanize public attention and support. Artist Johnstone Burke Studios. Lithographed by Sackett and Wilhelms Corporation, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1917."
