Red Cross Poster, There is room, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), humanitarian aid wall art decor
$131.42
This International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) poster from 1977 is advertising the Youth Red Cross, children from all nations, races and creeds flying in a plane together to help people with the tagline:
"Dein Platz ist noch frei" or "There is still space for you"
It shows the Red Cross, the Red Crescent and the Red Lion and Sun on equal footing for Christian, Islamic and Iranian symbols for international humanitarian aid - all on a blue background.
This is a German edition for the Youth Red Cross.
In 1983, the League of Red Cross Societies was renamed the "League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies" to reflect the growing number of National Societies operating under the Red Crescent symbol, so the poster is pre-1983 as Iran, who used the "Red Lion and Sun" logo moved to the Red Crescent in 1980.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is a worldwide humanitarian aid organization that reaches 160 million people each year through its 191 member National Societies. It acts before, during and after disasters and health emergencies to meet the needs and improve the lives of vulnerable people. It does so independently and with impartiality as to nationality, race, gender, religious beliefs, class and political opinions. The IFRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement along with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and 191 National Societies. The IFRC's strength lies in its volunteer network, community-based expertise and independence and neutrality. It works to improve humanitarian standards, as partners in development and in response to disasters. It persuades decision makers to act in the interests of vulnerable people. It works to enable healthy and safe communities, reduce vulnerabilities, strengthen resilience and foster a culture of peace around the world.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
