Its title, "Sammelt Bucheln!" ("Collect beechnuts!"), is a direct call to action. The poster's dialect spelling of *Bucheln* likely refers to beechnuts, which Germans gathered during the First World War and pressed for cooking oil as the British naval blockade cut off imports of fats. The poster is a lithograph from 1918, signed by the artist J.U. Engelhard, and it belongs to the Rehse Archive for contemporary history and publishing. Its subjects, including economic strain, consumer rationing and scarcity in Germany between 1910 and 1920, show how the government pressed civilians to turn foraging into a patriotic duty.
