Hi Tad and everyone on the forum,

I believe this poster was used in the U.S. to raise funds for supporting Poland during World War I. You can see at the bottom left that a one dollar donation was given, and the contributor received a stamp to put on the poster. The intention must have been to put stamps all around the perimeter of the picture, which at $20 total would have been a significant contribution in those years.

Has anyone ever seen a poster like this one? Do you know what organization was collecting the money?

Thanks!
Sue
