THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA. 1919.
30x20 inches. Forbes, Boston.
Condition B+: repaired tears and restored losses in margins; pinholes in corners.
A nurse, impractically draped in a diaphanous white gown, is holding a flag pole and is draped in the billowing red, white and blue flag. This image "typifies appeals made through images of women used in every country. A heroic, dignified figure is found equally in Europe and America, personifying country, liberty or freedom." (Darracott p. xvii). Darracott 6.
