As part of a vigorous publicity campaign, the American
Committee for Devastated France, a civilian relief organization,
commissioned photographs and films designed to foster a humanitarian
response to the plight of French refugees during and after the First
World War. Full-page images ran in American newspapers and sets
of prints were sold for three dollars a dozen.
Photographic portraits from the collection of Anne Morgan, ca. 1917–20
