Falls was a respected illustrator who designed many successful posters during WWI and WWII. This poster for the Red Cross was part of a campaign to recruit \u201c10,000,000 MEMBERS by CHRISTMAS,\u201d and it instructs audiences to show their support for the war by displaying a lit candle in a window on Christmas eve. A single candle shines in this image with a golden halo in front a large red cross, and the candle is placed in a candleholder containing holly, a recognizable holiday symbol. Falls\u2019s image attempts to capture the quiet and sentimentality of the holidays to increase public support at a time of the year that is defined for many by a charitable spirit. While other posters in this Red Cross campaign share holiday motifs, Falls\u2019s image offers a unique perspective. Rather than positioning audiences on the outside of the home looking in, Falls decides to place the viewer inside the home, looking outward in wonder upon a brightly colored night sky.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright and Terms<\/td>\n<td>Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
