A French call to charity from the first full year of the war, this large color lithograph announces a Journée des Éprouvés de la Guerre, a day for those afflicted by the war, with a grand lottery organized by the Syndicat de la Presse Française, the French press union. Such days were a common wartime fundraising method in France, pairing public appeals for wounded soldiers, widows and orphans with raffles and sales that drew on patriotic feeling. The poster's subject tags, victories and symbols, point to the allegorical imagery of national triumph that artists used to make giving feel like a civic duty.
