Few wartime posters ask ordinary households for something as humble as an empty bottle, but this Viennese color lithograph does just that, urging citizens to collect empty mineral water bottles. Printed by the Gesellschaft für Graphische Industrie and signed with the letter W, it dates from the later years of the First World War, when Austria-Hungary faced serious shortages of materials and goods. The record's subject headings tie the appeal to medical care, nurses and disabled veterans, showing how everyday salvage connected to the war's human cost.
