Few wartime posters from Munich advertise something as ordinary as a Christmas art show, and that contrast is what sets this one apart. Issued in 1917, it promotes an exhibition by the Gesellige Vereinigung Münchner Künstler, a Munich artists' society, at a time when Germany was three years into a war that had strained its paper, labor, and money. Holiday exhibitions like this one kept local artists visible and gave city residents a reason to gather, even as daily life grew harder.
