Help the unfortunate children. Buy a red egg on March 28. 1914

Created by S. Vinogradov in 1914, this Russian poster “Help the unfortunate children. Buy a red egg on March 28” was part of a charitable Easter campaign. It shows a woman and a child offering red-dyed eggs, a traditional Easter symbol, to raise funds for children’s labor organizations and night shelters under the patronage of Grand Duchess Elizaveta Fyodorovna. The contrasting black and red lettering draws attention to the humanitarian appeal. The poster combines religious symbolism with social responsibility, reflecting early 20th-century efforts to use visual art for public charity and moral awareness.
