Abstract:
Postcard featuring a color illustration of a female nurse with a red cross on her breast. She is seated, and in her right arm she is holding up a wounded soldier who appears to be unconcious. The woman's left hand is raised to fend off the figure of death, a skeletal figure draped in white and carrying a sickle in his hands.
