National flags and allegorical figures fill this 1917 color lithograph, which advertises a French-American fair at Saint-Sulpice held for Le Secours de Guerre, a French relief organization that aided civilians harmed by the fighting. Maurice Romberg signed the poster, which presents the bazaar as a shared effort, a message that carried new weight after the United States joined the war in April 1917. Fairs like this were a common way for home fronts to raise money for war victims and to channel economic energy into the war effort.
