This 1916 poster advertises *La Triennale*, an exhibition of French art, and its announcement of a major cultural event in the middle of the war is what sets it apart from other wartime posters. France kept staging art shows during the fighting, partly to signal that national culture was still alive while soldiers died at places like Verdun that year. Posters like this one were a common way to reach the public, and their design, lettering, and sponsorship show how the arts were presented as part of the national effort.
