C. Howard Walker · YWCA, Division for Foreign Born Women, 1919

What it is
A colour lithograph C. Howard Walker drew for the YWCA's division for foreign born women, dated January 1919, 102 by 70 cm.
Why it matters
The YWCA kept a division for women born abroad, and the Library of Congress suggests the sheet may belong to an Americanization theme: one country, gathered under many flags.
What to notice
A female figure holds tall standards hung with many shields, each emblazoned with a national flag.
Many flags, carried by one pair of hands.
