What sets this poster apart is its French-language title, *Concert et exposition serbe*, which announces a Serbian concert and exhibition in 1916. That was a year when Serbia had been overrun by Central Powers forces and its government was in exile, so cultural events like this one served as a way to keep Serbia's cause and national culture in view for audiences in neutral and Allied countries. The sepia lithograph is signed by S. Vorkapitch, and its subject tags point to sculpture and exhibitions of the 1910s, suggesting that the show featured Serbian sculptural work alongside music.
