The German title, *Warmes Herz offene Hand* ("warm heart, open hand"), states the appeal directly: a call to generosity in a time of national crisis. By 1917, the fourth year of the First World War, the German home front was dealing with growing shortages, and families were asked to give money, metal and goods to relief efforts and to buy war bonds. Images that paired a moral virtue with charity were a common way to reach ordinary households and make giving feel like a patriotic duty. No artist or publisher is recorded here, so the specific campaign it served is unclear.
