The image shows disabled veterans at work in the fields, a theme that sets it apart from the battle scenes common on this board. Issued in 1917 as a color lithograph advertising a provincial war welfare exhibition in Austria, it reflects wartime efforts to show that men wounded in combat could still contribute through labor, including the harvest. The poster is credited to the artist Sujan, and such public appeals were a common way to rally support for veterans' care as the war dragged on.
