Title: Will You Not Help the People in Ukraine Ravaged by War...
Description: New York, War Relief Committee of Ukrainian Federation of U.S. 1918. Printed card, illustration to recto, text to verso; 3 1/2 x 5 1/4; stiff, light-brown stock; lower left corner lightly clipped, else minor wear; in very good to near fine condition. An appeal to the american public to help Ukraine, called "Little Russia," after its devastation, caused by WWI, the card featured persuasive cartography - a crude map, outlining Ukraine's territory in relation to the other participents in the war, illustrated with images of fleeing people - and giving a brief history and then-current efforts for assistance. It also listed major honorary members of the War Relief Committee of Ukrainian Federation of US - a veritable who's who list of leftists, social reformers, authors, and feminists, including Jane Addams (1860 - 1935), Julia Lathrop (1858 - 1932), Lillian D. Wald (1867 - 1940), Ernest Poole (1880 - 1950), and others. Very good .
