A sepia lithograph announces a single day of fundraising in the Loir-et-Cher department on 26 November 1916, with its proceeds directed to prisoners, the disabled, orphans, the wounded, and refugees. Such "journées" were a common wartime device in France, when local committees often sold badges or held public events to raise money for people the war had left behind. The poster's subject headings point to women and to the war's economic demands, reflecting how French women took on factory and farm work while so many men were at the front. It is signed by the artist A. Tardivenie.
