The bottom of the poster is overprinted with the Philadelphia headquarters address of the American Red Cross at 511 North Broad Street, an address that organization occupied until December 1944.
This vintage original poster is in very good condition and looks pretty well unused with no tape or pinholes and just light handling wear and modest toning from age. The poster has a quarter inch tear on the top edge and upper right side and a bit of light scattered foxing near the upper corners and top edge. The colors remain strong and overall condition is very good.
