Auction History Result 3d296 RED CROSS Argentinean '50s Mendez Mujica artwork of nurse & charity projects! Date Sold 8/21/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Argentinean Poster (measures 29" x 43 1/2" [74 x 110 cm]) (Learn More) Red Cross, the circa 1950s Argentinean poster promoting the services and creed of the Red Cross charity organization (it roughly translates to "A blanket of comfort around suffering humanity"; "They hold out their devoted arms and in times of peace they are fruitful and constructive. It is an authentic and comforting symbol of human brotherhood.") and featuring art by Mendez Mujica. Note that we imagine this poster was used in Argentinean movie theaters when they would raise money for the Red Cross (they had similar charitable appeals in U.S. theaters, where they would bring up the lights between features and circulate people in the audience with cans asking for donations!) If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Mendez Mujica Condition: good to very good. There is a horizontal crease at lower right that appears to be from a printing defect. The poster has darkened somewhat (as is typical of older Argentinean posters because of the type of paper they were printed on) and there is a small amount of tattering along the foldlines and edges.
