In this painting, Flags on 57th Street, Winter, by Childe Hassam (created in 1918), we see crowds of people preparing to march in the wintry, snow-covered streets of New York in support of World War I. Hassam was a strong supporter of the American involvement in World War I and was inspired by a "Preparedness Parade," later renamed "Avenue of the Allies" held during the Liberty Loan Drives of 1918 on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Thousands of people participated in these parades which often lasted for more than twelve hours.
Hassam did a Flag Series of about thirty paintings, several of which were contributed to the war relief in exchange for Liberty Bonds. He had hoped the entire series would sell as a war memorial but instead the paintings were sold individually at group exhibitions, the last being held at the Corcoran Gallery in 1922. This advanced fine-art cross stitch design was developed from this painting.
