Caption label from exhibit "World War I ...": Oscar Cesare Supports Women's Suffrage. The women's suffrage movement was already firmly part of the nation's consciousness by 1917 when editorial cartoonist Oscar Cesare created this image of a nurse offering comfort to a fallen soldier. Between the Army, Navy, and the American Red Cross, more than 40,000 women served as nurses during World War I. Some of these nurses arrived ahead of American troops to establish expeditionary hospitals near the front. Having trained in Paris as an artist, Swedish-born cartoonist Oscar Cesare immigrated to the United States in 1903. He worked for the New York Evening Post during the war.
