Where the Victims Are ... Save the Survivors -- 3,950,000 Starving People ... Campaign for $30,000,000
New York: n.d. [probably 1918 or 1919]. An uncommon broadside poster (71 x 53 cm.). Moderate edge-wear. Some wrinkling. Two small metal eyeholes near top corners (for displaying or hanging this item). Backed in what appears to be thin muslin that is a bit ragged around edges. Type in red or black superimposed over a map of the Middle East which appears to reflect boundaries as of about 1918 before the victorious WWI allies redrew Middle Eastern boundaries. The American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief was founded in 1915. It was renamed the American Committee for Relief in the Near East in 1918. Cleveland H. Dodge, of the family which founded the Phelps Dodge Corporation (copper mining), was instrumental in the establishment of this organization and served served as its Treasurer. The organization raised more than $100,000,000 over the next decade. Good. Item #85234
