Description

The strip cartoon depicts the history of the Red Cross in a particularly accessible manner : the battle of Solferino and the relief given to the wounded and dying by Henry Dunant, with the help of women from the surrounding area ; the fervent appeal he made to the world in his book A Memory of Solferino : the brith of the International Committee of the Red Cross and how the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement came into being.
