Titled "Souvenez-vous!" (Remember!), this 1919 color lithograph is signed by F. Gottlob and was produced for a promotional campaign tied to a federation of cooperatives concerned with war damage. Its appeal to memory fits the moment, since the Armistice had come only a year earlier and large parts of northeastern France still lay in ruins. The record also notes a second issue with English text, suggesting the poster was meant to reach audiences beyond France. It is catalogued in a printed checklist of posters, which shows how wartime imagery was adapted for postwar appeals.
