What it is
A colour lithograph Albert Herter painted for the United War Work Campaign of 11 to 18 November 1918, issued with the YMCA, the YWCA and the Division of Pictorial Publicity of the Committee on Public Information, 104 by 70 cm.
Why it matters
The Library of Congress describes the same picture on Herter's larger sheet for the YMCA, The Y Has More Than 2000 Such Homes; this edition calls the hut his home over there. Herter was a painter, muralist and designer who founded Herter Looms in 1909.
What to notice
Soldiers coming through the snow at night toward a warmly lit YMCA building.
A hut in the snow, renamed home.
