Titled "Sparsame Baustoffe" ("Economical Building Materials"), this 1916 color lithograph advertises a German exhibition held in the Ausstellungshallen am Zoo in Berlin from November 16 to December 22. By 1916, the Allied blockade had cut Germany off from many imports, and the government and industry pushed substitution and conservation of raw materials on the home front. The record's subject headings tie the show to that effort, listing wartime economic conditions, building materials and German coinage from 1910 to 1920, which suggests the exhibition covered the broader search for thriftier materials. The poster is signed by Gipkens, a Berlin graphic artist who produced many commercial and wartime posters.
