Held on October 17, 1915, this color lithograph advertises an "Orne Day" for the war charities of the Orne department in Normandy, a fundraising event that asked the public to give to local relief. It is signed by Charles Léandre, a French painter and caricaturist known for his satirical and commemorative work during the First World War. The record's subject headings point to the home front: the war's economic strain, military casualties, and women, including those tied to Alsace, carrying much of the burden of daily life. Departmental drives like this one were a common way to raise money for soldiers and their families.
