Newell Convers Wyeth, better known as " N. C. Wyeth", was the patriarch of the famous Wyeth family of artists, and provided illustrations for such classics as Kidnapped, Treasure Island, and Last of the Mohicans.

N. C. Wyeth's work for the American Red Cross consisted of seven illustrations for The Red Cross Magazine, 1918 - 19, and a memorable poster produced for the 1933 Roll Call,

The American Red Cross Carries On...Join!.

The dramatic beauty of the billowing flags stimulated much needed support for the relief services provided by the American Red Cross during the height of the Great Depression. A prolonged drought produced the " dust bowl" in the heartland of our country.

Over 3,200 Red Cross Chapters responded by assisting the federal government in distributing 85 million bushels of wheat and 80 million bags of flour to nearly 6 million families. Boxes of seeds for planting were also given to impoverished farmers, an important element in the organization's drive to make the drought sufferers self-sufficient again.

Wyeth's poster was so popular that it was re- issued with slight modifications in 1947 and 1951, years after the artist had died.

Mezalick Design Studio, LLC was commissioned to use this famous poster by N. C. Wyeth as the design for a new 56" x 92" stained glass window.

The new multi- layered window, fashioned after the works of Louis Tiffany and John LaFarge, is located in the new American Red Cross of Metropolitan New Jersey facility in Fairfield, NJ

If you feel your windows may be in need of some stained glass restoration please contact us at
